OOC468 expenditures, $73,000,000 of Central Arizona Project allocations,' specifically the Tucson aqueduct bringing water to the Papago Indian Reservation, and future O&N charges of $3,575,000 per year. Similarly under the 1984 Ak-chin Indian community water rights settlement, 98 Statute 269, dealing with the Ak-chin Indians in Arizona, the United States committed $10,400,000 to acquire water rights required by the settlement, $14,600,000 of allocated Central Arizona Project construction costs, and $25,800,000 in small reclamation loans to develop on Reservation laterals, farm ditches, and other on farm developments. Further, as in the case of the Papago settlement the United States committed itself to prospectively provide annual operation and maintenance charges for 72,000 acre-feet of water of approximately $4,800,000 per year. To conclude, the Agreement in Principle continues a long standing federal commitment to Indian and non-Indian citizens of the West to harness the vast resources of the Colorado River. While the expense to the United States as identified in the Aareement in' Principle is substant'ial, it is \-Iell below federal obligations undertaken elsewhere on the Colorado River and has been reduced by significant State, local, and Tribal cost sharing commitments. Indeed, when the 1968 cost sharing requirement described in the Agreement in Principle is read together with Congress' 1968 pledge to promptly build the Animas-La Plata Project (that Congressional pledge is described below in Part Four), it is apparent that Congress has imposed on the Secre~ary of the Interior a mandatory duty to proceed with the development of the Animas-La Plata Project once he is satisfied that Congress' cost sharing requirements have been met by the parties to the Agreement in Principle. I Part Four The\Agreement in Principle implements a long standing nationaliobliaation. In 1963 the United States Supreme Court in Arizona v. California stated The ,prospect that the United States would undertake to build as a national project the necessary works to control floods and store river water for irrigation was apparently a welcome one for the basin States. But it brought to life strong fears in the northern basin States that additional waters made available by the storage and canal projects might be gobbled up in perpetuity by faster growing lower 6 )
