<br />'I'lle PRESIDENT ~ro tempore. Does
<br />that mean that the tl.ood control bill wUl
<br />not be taken up after the river ,and hllr-..
<br />bor blllls disposed of?
<br />Mr. BARKLEY. I was about to add
<br />the further understa.nOlng that It House
<br />Joint Resolutlon 371 15 made the un-
<br />finished business It may be temporarily
<br />](lJd B.!Ilde for the consideration of the
<br />fiood control bill.
<br />The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is
<br />there objection to the request ot the Sen-
<br />ator from Kentucky? The Cha1r hears
<br />none, and It 1s so ordered.
<br />Mr. WHERRY, Mr. Pruident, wlll
<br />the Senator yield?
<br />Mr. BARKLEY. I yield to' !.he Sena-
<br />tor from Nebraska.
<br />Mr. WlCRRY, I should llke to polnt
<br />out to the majority leader that Senate
<br />bill 1'767. introduced on March 13, 1944,
<br />had R Joint authorship of practically
<br />every Member ot t.he Senate.
<br />Mr. BARKLEY. That does not
<br />chanll'e the situation.
<br />Mr. WHERRY. It Is a common pro-
<br />cedure.
<br />Mr. BARKLEY. I have always
<br />thought that It was an Improper pro-
<br />cedure. I th1nk so .8.5 much IIJI I ever
<br />did. even though every Senator were to
<br />place his name on the list.
<br />Mr. WHERRY. 'The name of the
<br />Senator lrom Kentucky 13 on thIs 116t.
<br />Mr. BARKLEY. It may be, I do not
<br />care whether it Is or not.
<br />'Mr. WHERRY. The Senator does not
<br />care? .
<br />Mr. BARKLEY. I mean that It does
<br />not make any d1lreren~. I! I was a fool
<br />2 years ago or 4 years ago. that is no
<br />reason why I should be a 1001 now:
<br />Mr. WHERRY. It was a very good
<br />piece ot leglBlatlon. My name wa.s on it,
<br />too; and It WQ.S passell.
<br />Mr. BARKLEY. Ot course, that is
<br />tlrlma facie evIdence that It 1s Rood-
<br />Mr. WHERRY. That 15 correct,
<br />Mr. BARKLEY. But It 15 subject to
<br />rebutl:.al.

<br />Mr. THOMAS ot Oklahoma. Mr.
<br />'President, the Arkansas River fl!es
<br />100mewhere In the Northwest, pre.sumablJr
<br />In Colorado. and It flows down through
<br />Kansas and finally reaches Olr:Jahoma,
<br />and cont.lnues on, throllih Arkansas, into
<br />the MIsa:1s.ollppl River. It Colorado will
<br />keep her water 1n Colorado, Oklahoma
<br />wlll have no complaint, because when the
<br />8oocl.!l come we have plenty ot water In
<br />lIlY Btate. Bo I do not t.h1nk it wtll burt
<br />my Btate a. partiCle tel let Colouda keep
<br />all the water she can Impound.
<br />Mr. McCLELLAN. Mr. President, the
<br />senior Senator from Olr.la.boma. has :lust
<br />eJ:pre~ed my view regarding.the amend-
<br />t. I have alwaYB felt that the
<br />tern Btates--Colorado and the
<br />thers-that need water for Irriga.tlon
<br />have ftr:;t claIm on It. I have never de-
<br />s1red to siphon aft' water whIch they need
<br />and could well utilize for 1rrl'B.Uon pur-
<br />oses. I do not see that my Sta.te wlU be
<br />vitally aff'ected. I do not think It w11l do
<br />us one bit ot harm on earth to have Colo.
<br />Tlldo keep a.ll the water which fa.lls within
<br />her boundaries, because plenLy ot water
<br />talls below Colorado-.sumcIent to pro-
<br />v1de tor navigation and power and all the
<br />other purposes for which water Is needed.
<br />In fact, the truth af the matter l.s that
<br />we have mOre water than we can accom.
<br />modate w:llhout lIutrertng a great deal or
<br />damage, M;y Btate Is pl'!ma.rUy 1nter.
