<br />UOlJ93 <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />We have only just now reaeived a aommuniaation from <br /> <br /> <br />'California inviting a reopening af the matter, and we <br /> <br /> <br />have hope that negotiations will be renewed and that we <br /> <br /> <br />will be able to deal with talifornia upon a basis satis- <br /> <br /> <br />faatory to everyone. In the event we cannot so deal with <br /> <br /> <br />California, it will be necessary to again refer the matter <br /> <br /> <br />to -the Arizona hlgislature which will probably not convene <br /> <br /> <br />until January, 19L~. What the temper of the legislature <br /> <br /> <br />might then be is of course purely problematical; This ComN <br /> <br /> <br />mission, however, recognizes the necessity of ratifying <br /> <br /> <br />the Compact, end particularly is this true in the 1 ight of <br /> <br /> <br />the pleasant experience this Commission has enjoyed in its <br /> <br /> <br />contacts with the representatives of all of the basin <br /> <br /> <br />states. <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />California' s refusal to accept the offer of <br />Arizona has placed Arizona and Nevada in exactly the same <br />position and we believe in a more hazardous position than <br />they were before the proposed tn-state agreement was re- <br />jected by.California. Speaking exclusively for Arizona. we <br />submit it is necessary for Arizona as a state to immediately <br />take such steps as she may deem beneficial to protect the <br />resources she has within her boundaries for reasons which <br />will hereinafter more fully appear. <br />As we have stated in our answer to Question No.1, <br /> <br />the power possibilities of this river are very great and are <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />< <br /> <br />15. <br />
