~OC467 Dam in Wyoming and the 31% cost sharing proposed for Plan 6 (Orme barn alternatives) of the Central Arizona Project. Of course, the 31% cost allocation for the Central Arizona Project relates only to the Plan 6 component of the Central Arizona Project. The major portion of the Central Arizona Project costing approximately $3,600,000,000 remains federally supported, and does not involve substantial state and local cost sharing. The cost sharing commitments provided for in the Agreement in Princiole not only are in ,line with cost sharing commitments currently being undertaken throughout the United States pursuant to the 1985 Congressional Supplemental Appropriations Act, but also they enable the United States to fulfill its 1968 co~~itment to build the Animas-La Plata Project at substantial federal savings. Indeed, as we show below, the Agreement in Princiole assures that the United States' commitments to the Ute Indians as well as the non-Indian citizens of Southwestern Colorado and Northwestern New Mexico will be accomplished at substantially lower costs than the United States commitments previously made to the other states in the Colorado River Basin particularly, Arizona, California and Utah. The United States has long played a critical role in the resolution of Indian water rights claims relating to the Colorado River. Many Indian Tribes have substantial Winters rights claims to the main stem of the Colorado River and to Colorado River tributaries. The United States has actively assisted both in the quantification of the Indian Winters rights to the rivers and in the development of projects to put the Indian water rights to use. Without such quantification and federal assistance, the millions of Southwest citizens would not be able to fully benefit today from the precious waters of the Colorado River. Under the Agreement in Princiole the United States is to provide $49,500,000 to the Tribal development funds, and $402,100,000 for the Animas La Plata Project. While these monies are substantial, they are modest in amount when contrasted with the United States commitments to the Central Utah Project and the Central Arizona Project. Indeed the United States will likely spend nearly $2,000,000,000 on the Central Utah Project and $3,600,000,000 on the Central Arizona Project. In funding 100% of the cost of these two massive projects, the United States will commit substantial funds to the Indian water users, particularly in Arizona where it is anticipated that the United States' contribution to the Central Arizona Project includes nearly $600,000,000 to Arizona Indian Tribes. Furthermore, the federal contributions under the Agreement in Principle compare favorably with federal contributions to recent Colorado River Indian water settlements. Under the 1982 Southern Arizona Water Rights Settlement Act, 96 Stat. 1274, involving the Papago Indian Reservation, the United States committed itself to $33,000,.000 of Reservation capital 5
