<br />28 <br /> <br />37 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />of water to the Yuma Project in Arizona? <br />MR. CLAYTON: One of the obHgations they undertook <br />under the All-American Cimal contract was to make those deHv- <br /> <br />eries through Siphon Drop to the Yuma Project. <br />MR. CARSON: AnYbody else from Arizona have any ques- <br /> <br />tions? <br /> <br />MR. AVERY: Mr. Clayton, I have a question: United <br /> <br /> <br />States supervisIon would only be over the water delivered to <br /> <br /> <br />Mexico, wouldn't it? <br /> <br />MR. CLAYTON: Primarily the supervision of the United <br /> <br /> <br />States would-be over the water to be delivered to Mexico, but <br /> <br /> <br />incident to that would be some supervision over the operation <br /> <br /> <br />of the Canal, the power plant, and the Pilot Knob Wasteway. <br /> <br /> <br />MR. CARSON: ~w. Clayton, one other question: Then <br /> <br /> <br />under this proposa,l/ as you understand it, the Bureau of Recla- <br /> <br /> <br />mation would be completely ousted from control or jurisdiction <br /> <br /> <br />over the diversion of water to the Yuma Project or anywhere at <br /> <br /> <br />or below Imperial Dam, is that correct? <br /> <br /> <br />MR. CLAYTON: I wouldn't say under this proposal the <br /> <br /> <br />jurisdiction of the Bureau of Reclamation was ousted. I would <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />., <br />I <br /> <br />say under the _HI-American Canal contract that the Imperial <br /> <br /> <br />Irrigation District has assumed that obligation, and the onl~' <br /> <br /> <br />effect the proposal has on it is that the operation of the Cana <br /> <br /> <br />shall be under such regulations as the United States w~y prescr' be. <br /> <br /> <br />MR. CARSON: Yes, but my question is: If this is all <br /> <br /> <br />turned over: to the Imperial Irrigation District, then the Bureal <br /> <br /> <br />of Reclamation would be ousted from the control it has heretQfole <br />
