",'c,,:;,'~r:r~lph thrGE), there must be someaccumu~ation of data. How did

you consider that wording of the paragraph?

MR. ChRPENTBRt Before you go to that wording, you might

add "bnd the interchange of availo.ble infbrmation." "Promote the

lJ

systematic determination and coordination' of the facts as to

,flow, ,o.ppropriation consumption o.nd use of water in the Colorado

River Basin, and the interchange of available information in such

matters."

MR. HAMBLE: There apparently, should be a provision pr;oviding

for the appointment of the' federal officials by the secretary of

, ,
the interior. I have written it with that ,clause iri it.

CHAIRMbN HOOVER: We have' not stated' in here who is to'

MR. HbMELE: It occurred to me the pact wouldn't be quite

Interior appoint men of either of those qe~artments?

Service has the best f'uhd' of information?n,appropriation of
s~rveys of water, whereas the GeologicqlService has fullinfor-
,mation as to the flow.

MR. HbMELE: My own personal thought on that is that there
ought, to be no reference to Federal offioials; that it ought to

..

be state officials, and whatever federo,l he Ip they get should be
, ,

. '

a separate proposition.
