<br />?i3JI <br /> <br />.", <br /> <br />made clear that such.a source is provided to him. <br /> <br />., <br /> <br />MR. CALDWELL: The source, Mr. Chairman, so ifar as I can see nOTf, ,is <br /> <br />the apportionment made to the lower Basjn stored 'or unstored. <br /> <br />CHAIRI!u\N HOOVj<;[t: Well, the distinction j_G that the source, so far as <br /> <br />his right-s are concerned, isn r t Tro.ter in storage; his rights are unimrinired <br /> <br />and to gi;'e him another source you Tlouldn It impa~rhis rights. His ri_e;hts <br />! <br /> <br />run r~gardless of any apportionment vrhich we may Jmake. The re-apportion1:lent <br /> <br />of the river doesn't give him a source for his TIF.ltor supply. He has that <br /> <br />already. We e;ive him another source for his rights by givine; him storage. <br /> <br />iie aro setting up a further defense for the Uppe~ States by sticking to <br /> <br />the terms which you Tlant to exclude, It also maJ'ies clear to tho lower states <br /> <br />the source from vlhich they are to rocoive this tl1ansfer to their riGhts. <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />MR.

If that is not .Ihat we are <br /> <br />trying to do, I am on the ~Tong track. I think they should be brought <br /> <br />within their apportionment some time. <br /> <br />CWIIRMAN HOOVER: That is what we arc tryinu to do, but we arc trying <br /> <br />te do it by a method. Mr. McKisiqI{, what is your opinion on that? <br /> <br />1m. MC KISICK: Mr. Chairman, and gentlemen., I think that it would <br /> <br />be very proper and right to include the words 11 so: stored." The underlymg <br /> <br />I; <br /> <br />reason for the clause as it noh stands is, preciseily as yeu have statod H, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Assuming that thore are rirh.ts in the Lower river: which must be satisfiod <br /> <br />this Commission has no pow~r to impair those righ~s. You have to provide <br /> <br /> <br />another source from which the necossary waters may be suppliod. You have <br />
