<br />0009'58 <br /> <br />,.. <br /> <br />for instance, serve as a clearing house for varieties of ideas, that <br />can be discussed in frank and friendly fashion within the forum <br />provided by the Com~ission, rather than become the subject of <br />injudicious individual or unilateral action and, perhaps, even <br />angry, public debate outside that forum, which might well affect <br />adversely the solin front that the States ought to present to the <br />outside world." <br /> <br />L <br /> <br />Speaking of the time when development of great works has proceeded and <br /> <br />peration questions arise, Mr. Will said: <br /> <br />"We must look ahead. Looking ahead and planning for the future <br />are strictly necessary, if the states of the Upper Basin are to have <br />and are to play a proper part in making their own future. It is not <br />too soon to look forward to the day when vast works have been con- <br />structed and when there may well arise the question as to what would <br />constitute a suitable agency to undertake their operation and main- <br />tenanc8 and their administration. It is not too early to be thinking <br />about that and to be wondering whether the Upper. Colorado River Com- <br />mission is the answer. There is ample precedent in the history of <br />inter-state relations for the assumption by the Upper Colorado <br />River Commission, under suitable agreement with the Unitpd states <br />of America, of the operation and maintenance of these works and <br />of the incidental functions related thereto. Should that happen, <br />the area concerned would enjoy the benefits of the application of <br />progressive policies laid dovm by Federal Law but administered <br />through a local body, closer to the people, and intimately <br />acquainted with their problems. Any contract between the Upper <br />Colorado River Comoission and the United States of America, must, <br />of course, bind the Commission to operate, in the national and <br />international interest, under regulations duly prescribed by the <br />Federal Government." <br /> <br />, I believe that Mr. Will has correctly stated the policy of the Commission <br /> <br />< n making the foregoing statement. <br /> <br />Because of the nature of the Colorado River and because of Section 15 of <br /> <br />the Boulder Canyon Project Act which authorized the BUreau of Reclamation to under- <br /> <br />take a comprehensive survey for the utilization of Colorado River water, most of <br /> <br />the planning and surveys in the area "ill be undertaken by the Bureau of Reclama- <br /> <br />tion. Such surveys, of course, will be in collaboration with the Army Engineers <br /> <br />and other interested Federal agencies. <br /> <br />-7- <br />
