O{)13~\)

Seotion 13, subdivision (c), that the Aot provides:

"(c) Also all patents, grants,
contracts, ooncessions, leases, permits,
licenses, rights cf way, or other privi_
leges from the United States or under
its authority, necessary or convenient
for the use of waters of the Colorado
River or its tribuatries, 'or for the
generation or transmission of electrical
energy generated by IlI5lUlS of the waters
of said river or its tributaries, whether
under this act, the Federal water power
aot, or otherwise, shall be upon the
express condition and with the express
covenlll t that the rights of the reoipients
or holders trereof to waters of the river
or its tributaries, for the use of whioh
the same are necessary, oonvenient, or
inoidental, and the use of the same' shall
likewise be subjecrt to and controlled by
said Colorado River Compact."

.,

It is, therefore, apparent from a reading of the

foregoing seotion that the Act compels the Federal Power

,

Commission to recognize the terms of the Colorado River

Compact in every detail in said section mentioned, and

by its provisions so limits the Federal Power Commission

that if Arizona secures a permit or a lioense it must
necessarily be governed by the terms of the Project Act and
in turn fall. within the terms of the Colorado River Compact,

and in so doing no advantage can be gained by the State of

Arizona.

We respectfully submit that the answer to the

first question we have heretofore given must be "No".
