System are unimpaired by this compact. \fuenever storage <br />capacity of 5,000,000 acre feet shall have been provided :Lrl the main Colorado <br />River for the benefit of the Lower Basin ~. <br /> <br />MR'. C,\LmmLL: (Intorrupting) Hay I ask to havo insertod there "on <br /> <br />tho main Colorado }liver for or running ~o tho benefit of the LOTlCr Basin.lf <br /> <br />CH..\1RI,L\N HOOVER: I do not seo an;? objection. <br /> <br />MR. NORVIEL: No, I nill objoct to that. <br /> <br />MR. EMERSON: Tlhat is the objoction. <br /> <br />CHAJHNu\N HOOVER: It is ono of those things that looks liko it had more <br /> <br />tQ it .than it really has. IG oxcitos.suspicion on Hr.. Norviol's part. <br /> <br />MR. CALmmLL: Well, we have a lot jn thore that exoitos suspicion on our <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />part. <br /> <br />. MR. NORVIEL: I think it would remove all suspicion if we cut out evory- <br /> <br />c <br /> <br />thing :after the first period. Then there wouldn't be anything suspicious loft. <br /> <br />CifAIR.l!iAN HOOVEr'l: Mr. caldwell, I don't think "for or running to" <br /> <br />accomp;i..ishes anything. It is for the "bcnefit" in any cvont. It j.s a <br /> <br />more inclusivc term than "runr:.ing to." <br /> <br />MR. CALDWELL: I admit that my thought was more or less technj.cal. <br /> <br />The reservoir may bo built anywhere for any purposo, but if the benofit rlms <br /> <br />to the L<wver Basin it vrould only be what vre are trying to say, that is all. <br /> <br />If thc'benefit runs to the Lower Basin, although thc reservoir may be built <br /> <br />for power purposes or other purposes, I thin!, it v/Quld avoid misunderstandings <br /> <br />in the future. <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />Cl1AIRIfLAN HOOVER: It immediately excites suspic.i6n that you intend to <br /> <br />erect reservoirs in the Upper Basin. Then also all that.sort of discussion <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />comes in. <br /> <br />MR. CALDTlELL: Tlell, another concession. <br /> <br />j <br />
