<br />213 <br /> <br />,. <br /> <br />, <br />have ne objection, - I think ne are going to have many of them. <br /> <br />1m. HOOVER: I have a suggestion to mako to meot your sido, in othor <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />nords, we have the declaration "Inasmuch as the Colorado River has ceased to <br /> <br />be navigable in fact, and navigation will seriously limit the development of <br /> <br />the basin, it is hereby agreed that the use of its waters for purposes of <br /> <br />navigation shall be subservient to the uses of such Trators for domostic, <br /> <br />agricultural and power purposes." Now, we have still stricken,out the clause <br /> <br />as to approval of Congress. <br /> <br />I,m. C"\LD1'IELL: I don't lmoTI whether I made myself clear or not, I pro- <br /> <br />bably have not. If we leave this paragraph out, - the proviso, Congress, <br /> <br />under :this pact, would retain such D1cidental rights as they have, regardless <br /> <br />of this paragraph, and tpat is all they want to maintain. Non, what I do <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />want is just vlhat you have read in the first part of that proposHion, that <br /> <br /> <br />Congress shall agreo not to interfere with works constructed for any other <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />purpo~e than navigation. That is all we have got in this pact. <br /> <br />.Im. HOOVEI,: If they do not have that proviso in the pact, then Congress <br /> <br />might reject the vlhole pact and delay the whole matte]" of the pact. <br /> <br />MR. CARPENTER: Mr. Caldwell, I take it, has this in mind, in the <br /> <br />language of the reservatien itsheuld not only say that navigation should be <br /> <br />subservient, out also, say in eKpress words that maintenance of navigation <br /> <br />should not interfere with other purposes. <br /> <br />me. C"\LDUELL: Uhat I have said is that the United states vlill have all <br /> <br />rights which it gets frem the faet that this is a navigable river. . NOVl, <br /> <br />then if we say navigation rights shall be subservient, Vie do not destrey <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />the navigability in theory or in fact. All Vie do say i[; that they shall not <br /> <br />intorfere vlith other vlOrks built for other purposes on the river. <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />1m. HOOVER: That is what is stated in the paragraph. <br />
