We do believe that the <br /> Congress intended that 280,000 more feet of that reservoir <br /> capacity should be used for flood control and 400,000 for <br /> irrigation, and that the degree of flood protection intended <br /> by Congress is that protection which 280,000 acre feet of <br /> reservoir capacity will afford, rather than some fixed rate <br /> of discharge. <br /> Now, I would be very happy if Mr. Vidal might take up <br /> and discuss those figures of economical evaluation. <br /> CHAIRMAN KRAMER: Before doing that, kr. Tidal, I would <br /> like to ask Mr. Knapp to translate into specific terms what <br /> he has in mind, and speaking for the Commission, what the <br /> Commission has in mind as to what a firm basis of allocation <br /> should be,and how it should be expressed engineeringwise. <br /> MR. KNAPP: I think the firm basis or the amounts should <br /> be the amounts set forth in this Rouse Dooument 308, and since <br />
