<br />
<br />ized by title 2, section 201, and title 4, section 401, of the act of
<br />Congress 01 Jauuary 6, 1951 (title 1212, Public La.w 910).
<br />(2) The subcommit,ee recommends to the Interior aud Insular
<br />Affairs Committee that legislation be approved which will make it
<br />unmIstakably clear that the control, jurisdiction, and distribution of
<br />water from the streams such as the Santa Margarita River are subject
<br />to State law and that the Federal Government has no control what-
<br />ever and no vestige 01 power or right over the waters of these non-
<br />navigable streams.
<br />The form of legislation necessary to accomplish these objectives
<br />can be developed in the meeting of the Committee on Interior and
<br />Insular Affairs. We are informed that Representative Clinton D.
<br />McKinnon, who represents the area covered by the Fallbrook public
<br />utility district, is drafting legislation in consultation with the local
<br />people which he believes will can'y out the recommendations of the
<br />subcommittee. We will bring a copy of this legislation to your at-
<br />tention as soon as it has been introduced.
<br />A copy of the memora.ndum of understanding between the Fall-
<br />brook utility district representatives and the local represent..tives of
<br />the Federal Government is attached, together with a letter of Decem-
<br />ber 22, 1949, from Capt. C. R. Johnson, United States Navy, to Mr.
<br />Franz R. Sachse, president of the Fallbrook public utility district.
