<br />001:147 <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />l <br /> <br />'WOuld oontrol. In tho absenoe of toot and in line with the prooedure we <br />are attempting to follow hero we want to, if possible, work out these <br />disputos. We oannot do the:\; wi:l:hout suffioient fo.ots and figures. <br />Along that line 0. oOllllllittoe was appointod eons~sting of Mr. Giles, , <br />Gavernor Hannett and Mr. Shaw to make 0. repert on these lega'l phases. At <br />tho Denver Moeting it developed that Arizona wanted to present additional <br />faots and figures wid a brief in llUpport of this project in order that <br />this oOllllllittee have sOlllGthing definite on which to act. , They have at <br />this t:lJlle filed objeotion in the hope we oould work it out and this is <br />the mere procedure of working it out. Does that answer your question? <br /> <br />JUDGE SBtlTE: Yes, in a way. . On the ether hand, it is a little <br />bit more confusing. I notioed in your stat()!;1ent that you use the word <br />"Legal" with respect to this brief. I de net really believe that that <br />would be the proper word. I believe if we would furnish faots and figures, <br />as yeu suggested in your presentation a while ago, where we would show <br />this would be in line with the work of the oommittee, we. would not strike <br />any legal proposi-tion. <br /> <br />CHAIRMAN STONE: No doubt the faots and figures are there but tho <br />Upper Basin States teok tho position that there were some legal questions <br />involved with respeot to this projeot in 'tho absenoe of the Compaot's <br />ratification. We understood that Arizona desired to submit its posi'tion <br />on this. If you de desiro to de it, it is left open for that purpose. <br /> <br />JUDGE SHUTE, We do desire to take o.dvantage of that situation. <br />I do think that the 1I1Iln preparing tha.t inS'trUlllElllt ought to haw a knowledge <br />of vd1a.t he is required to do.. <br /> <br />GOVERNOR HANNETT: As a membor of the'committee, and not <br />speaking for the other members of the oommittee, but, as far a.s I am <br />conoernod, there is one problem and that is what will be the consumptive <br />uso of the water if' this dam is constructed? <br /> <br />thing. <br /> <br />JUDGE SHUTE, I think that olarifies it as I understand tho S!llll8 <br /> <br />MR. SHAW: Might I mako a suggostion to olarify this thing? <br />I beliove that tho cOllllllittoo should moet with Juige Shute and talk the <br />~tter aver. Porhaps this can be danG in half' an hour some time during <br />the day ond then we might be o.ble to make SOlllG progress toward understanding <br />'flha.t we are talking about. <br /> <br />CH.URM.\N STONE: Mr. Giles, as Chairman of that COIIllIlittoe, oan <br />you arrange that? <br /> <br />MR. GILES: Yes, I believe that we will be able to o.rro.nge tho.1:::. <br />
