<br />28 <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />MH. Cb.LDWELL: I didn't draft anything I am particularly <br />proud of here, Mr. Chairman. I drafted that before I left here <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />yesterday afternoon and my idea is merely to make it as harmless <br />as possible in its effect on the legislature, if we must have the <br />article at all. If I am proud of any par,t of it, ,it is the matter <br />of the title. I don't know whether It'is usable or not, but I <br />have called that Ilt;x-officlo Committee;\! "1l1.n ex-offlcio corJmlttee <br />to consist of the state engineers or othe'r ptirsons charged by <br />the states wlth the admin1strat10n of water or water r1ghts, to- <br />gether with an off1cial of the Un1ted states Reclamat10n Service <br /> <br />and an offic10.1 of the United ~tates Geolog1cal Survey, shall <br /> <br />const1tute a comm1ttee for the collection, r~servation and <br /> <br />publication of data on the Colorado River System perta1ning to, <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />or wh1ch may p.erta1n to, this compact. <br />CHl,IRMl.N HOOVER: Is that all? We have to make 0. se.curity <br />of publ1cation flow of water of the Colorado R1ver System at Lee <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />Ferry. We have to make a specific prov1s10n ~or that in order to <br /> <br />carryout'the guaranty clause. <br /> <br />, <br />I used the word promoting. <br />, ' <br /> <br />MR. ChLDWELL: There 1s the other feature too, Mr. Cha1rman. <br />If th1s comm1ttee 1sappo1nted espeCially for the purpose of <br />measuring the water at Lee Fcrry 1t mo.y he construed to be [l ~luty <br />of this Comm1ssion or comm1ttee wh1ch 1f'1t neglects 1t may be a <br /> <br />violation of the pact. <br />CHL.IRMl,N HOOVEH: I thought we got away from that somewhat <br />by saying they should secure' the determij:lat10n and publ1cat10n. <br />The pact can't revolve unless we have that determ1nation. That <br />must be a part of the, pact, that somebody must do it. <br />MR. CL,RPENTER: It 1s 1mperative for tJ:;te protection of both <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br />
