<br />" <br /> <br />af quality'? As I recall his answer was that that might preclude <br />ratification by the Mexican Senate. If there is a questian af <br />salinity in the mind of any ane, why not deal with it in the treaty <br />by language which cannat be daubted? <br />"Mr. MILLIKIN. Thase representing this cauntry were familiar <br />with water matters, and thase representing Mexico. were familiar <br />with water matters. If two. expert horse traders are trading horses, <br />and they take them 'as is', what is the sense of specifying every <br />spavin and every flea bite that may be on either af the harses? <br />If the language is clear, if Mexico. takes the water from whatever <br />source it may come, if the men who. agreed to. this are experts <br />and know what the jeopardies are, what is the reasan for further <br />specificatian? <br />"Mr. MURDOCK. If it were a mere horse trade, I wauld <br />agree with the Senatar that it might not be impartant to. refer to <br />every spavin and every defect. Hawever, we are dealing here <br />with the lifeblaod af the Senatar's State and af my State; and in <br />my apinian we cannot deal with that subject an the same terms <br />as we might deal with a harse trade. Once this lifeblaod is <br />drained from the Senatar's State and from my State, it is drained <br />away in perpetuity. <br />"Mr. MILLIKIN. I certainly do. nat want the lifeblaad <br />drained from the State of Utah or the State of Colorado, or from <br />any ather State. I am canvinced that the language af the treaty <br />is sufficiently clear as to quality af water. I hope to. demanstrate <br />the reasons for my convictions as my discus sian develaps." <br /> <br />Beginning on page 3098 Senatar Millikin started his explanatian , <br /> <br />__ _aJ..1.h.?_q!.La li tY-Pi.~bJ_ef!Lill cJ~ta il,._ III ord_e.r.1~ .9,eJ_a--.f:le..aLP,ic t,uJ~oLthis_i s,s,ue__ ~ <br /> <br />we will quate this particular discussian, including the interruptians by <br /> <br />Senatar Dawney.

There <br />has been some difference in engineering apinion as to. the <br />amaunt of the return flaw. The Bureau of Reclamation says it <br />will be in the neighborhood of 1,000,000 acre-feet a year. <br />I have seen estimates of lesser and greater amounts.
