To develop it for one state alone would be ~Tong, and for one state <br /> <br />to frustrate development by dilatory tactics so that its six sister states cannot <br /> <br />use their fair share of water is equally wrong. <br /> <br />"Arizona has stood firmly with other states in the past for projects, <br /> <br />soundly conceived along standard reclamation patterns so well established through- <br /> <br />out the Vest and including in California's own Central Valley, which would conserve <br /> <br />the antire Colorado River Basin for all seven of its states. <br /> <br />"Arizona at present is suing California in the United States Supreme <br /> <br />Court to obtain an adjudication of Lrnver Basin water rights.
