First, <br />we felt our language more clearly expressed the principle that the <br />water received by the Tribes from' the projects is federal reserved <br />water to be treated the same as the rest of the Tribes' federal re- <br />served water, Second, the non-federal language does not correctly <br />reflect the terms of the Agreement concerning the application of <br />federal reclamation laws to the Tribes' reserved water. (For exam- <br />ple, the Agreement totally excludes the application of federal recla- <br />mation law to the off-reservation use of the Tribes' reserved water, <br />both project and non~project, within the State. See p, 60 of the <br />Agreement,) , , <br />We also. objected to the proviso portion of this non-federal lan- <br />guage. It is unnecessary since the problem it seeks to address is <br />taken care of by the rule of construction in section l1(a) that this <br />Act shall be construed in a manner consistent with the Agreement, <br />Also note that if such language were necessary here, then provisos <br />would be needed in a number of other places in the Act to make <br />clear that the language of this Act is not to be interpreted in a <br />manner inconsistent with the Agreement. ' <br />The language of S. 1415 makes some additional changes to the <br />previous non-federal version of section 4(b). On page 4, line 19, the <br />word "Tribes'" has been deleted before "reserved water" and the <br />word "proiect" has been inserted instead; and on page 4, line 22, <br />the word 'project" has been added before "reserved waters." These <br />changes, like the most recent non-federal change to 4(a), make it <br />appear that the water given to the Tribes from the projects is a <br />special kind of water unique to this settlement instead of making <br />clear that it is typical federal reserved water. <br />S, 1415 also deletes the phrase "restrict the use, or the sale, ex" <br />change, lease, or other temporary disposal of' and instead inserts <br />"apply to." See page 4, lines 21-22, Similarly, "restrict the use of <br />the Tribes' other reserved waters" has been changed to "apply to <br />, the other reserved waters of the Tribes" on page 4, lines 23-24, <br />4. See, 5(e), page 6, lines 12-18.-There has been a long-standing <br />disagreement over this provision. The non-federal parties wanted it <br />in the bill as a statement expressing the neutrality proviso in Arti- <br />cle V, Section B(b) on pages 60-61 of the Agreement. The federal <br />parties wanted it deleted because of the difficulty in achieving a <br />neutral statement" as required by the Agreement, We suggested at <br />an earlier date that instead of this subsection, the phrase "in ac- <br /> <br />~;~~~i~:!, <br />~~~~~;J1 <br /> <br />( '.:;""'::'.:~ <br /> <br />\; <br />-:., I, <br />,:'if:'i.:~ i" '(";< <br />,"; ;~" ',;" ::::': <br />i:' ,iX,',", <br />~: ';.ii":; <br />;': <br /> <br />" -<;, <br />
