<br />MR. SPARKS: <br />MR. PETERSON: <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />MR. SPARKS:. <br /> <br />MR. PETERSON: <br /> <br />MR. SPARKS: <br /> <br />MR. PETERSON: <br /> <br />MR. SPARKS: <br /> <br />MR. PETERSON: <br /> <br />MR. SPARKS: <br />MR. BURR: <br />MR. STAPLETON: <br />MR. BURR: <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />MR. MOSES: <br /> <br />"The one that we will send them." <br /> <br />"I understood you to say that this bill you <br />have here now may not be accepted or may not <br />meet with the approval of all the Congressional <br />delegation. So if they come out with something <br />different . . ." <br /> <br />"No. The Congressional delegation has no <br />objection to the present bill." <br /> <br />"In other words this is the bill here that <br />you think we should approve?" <br /> <br />"I think, in principle, that we can't ever <br />approve a bill that's not going to be modified, <br />to some extent. That's impossible." <br /> <br />"Well, it is entirely possible to modify a <br />bill to the extent that it doesn't look anything <br />like the original bill at all. The modifications <br />sometimes take over the principle part of it." <br /> <br />"I know, but we can only carry it so far. <br />We can't control that. I think that all we can <br />do is recommend the adoption of legislation in <br />general accordance with this bill that has been <br />drawn. " <br /> <br />"That doesn't go on record as approving the <br />modifications, does it?" <br /> <br />"No, it doesn't." <br /> <br />"Mr. Chairman." <br /> <br />"Mr. Burr." <br /> <br />"It looks to me as though we are getting the <br />cart before the horse. We know nothing of the <br />working principles of this; the purchase or any- <br />thing; or how it is going to affect the water <br />users or anybody down the stream. That's where <br />the 'bugs' are going to be in this bill, by <br />approving it first and taking water out of what <br />was decreed for irrigation purposes and putting <br />it in a permanent pool - taking it out of cir- <br />culation." <br /> <br />"Mr. Chairman." <br />
