<br />285 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />not in\pu.irod tho riGht, but I think it should bo clearly statod L'1 the compact <br /> <br />that the stored water is a substitute to be drawn upon in lieu of tho right <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />to pursue the waters across Lee 's Fe'rry into the Upper Basin, and you have a <br /> <br />clear :line of demarcatl"on thore, and taking the last of tho present clause as <br /> <br />it now stands, in conjuncti.on with paragraph (a) of Article III, you do have <br /> <br />a very cle"r and distinct line of demarcation. This 'stored water is a part <br /> <br />of the! ,mtor apportioned to the Lower Basin, although it may be situated in <br /> <br />the Upper Basin. The moment i.t is released and COBes daIill past Lee's Ferry, <br /> <br />it is lto be counted as a part of the 75,000,000 acre feet' aimuall~- and the <br /> <br />Lower ,users cannot complain because there is an additional source from which <br /> <br />he may satisfy his demand. You have provided in the article there drawn, <br /> <br />stora~e exceeding the present annual consumptlon of tho Lower Basin. He is <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />not hllrt if he can go 'to the stored water and satisfy his needs.. We haven't <br /> <br />divested any rfght he now possesses. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />1m.

CALDWELL, At the present reading Hhenever storage of a capacity of <br /> <br />5,000,000 is made leaves the inference that forever there would be 5,000,000 <br /> <br />acre feet to draw upon. That isn't what we really mean. We mean that this <br /> <br />. , . <br />obligatj,on shall cease whenever storage capacity to that amo1.LYJt is available. <br /> <br />MR. MC KISICK: I don't know how you could make it any more definite <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />becaus:e you have to rely upon nature to do her part, and you assume that the <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />storage reservoir - <br /> <br />M[l. EI:IERSON, (,Interrupting) In the draft I originally prepared, I <br /> <br />stated definitely ~hen a reservoil' or reservoirs to a capacity of 5,000,000 <br /> <br />,~ <br />
