<br />to be irrigated in each state, whether or not it would not <br /> <br />... <br />be pQssible to partition the water. With this thought. in mY <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />mind I wrote out, in .as brief a fashion as possible, what I <br /> <br />thought might be done along this line. I do not consider the <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />suggestion as exactly scientific, but it may be the very best thing <br /> <br />to do, everything considered. <br /> <br />I am offering this proposition here as being tentative. <br /> <br />I am not committed to it in any definite, absolute sense, but <br /> <br />I should say to the Commission that I am seriously in earnest <br /> <br />and I have no mental reservations with respect to it whatever, <br /> <br />Of course I expected it would be criticised and added to, but <br /> <br />I should be very much chagrined if anything is taken away from <br /> <br />it because I thought I had got it down to an irreducable min- <br /> <br />imum. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />I may state that the compact provides for partition of <br /> <br />the l1ater bet'deen the basins very much as outlined by Mr. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Sarpenter's draft here, and that it deals particularly with <br /> <br />the unappropriated water of the Colorado River, <br /> <br />Now I thiru<, Mr. Chairman, with those remarks, in con_ <br /> <br />formity l'lith your procedure and as you have outlined, that this <br /> <br />may be read, <br /> <br />Perhaps I shduld apologize for not having copies here for <br /> <br />every member of the Commission. I was not sure that members <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />of the Commission would care to see it, so I didn I t supply the <br /> <br />... <br /> <br />copies. <br /> <br />(Thereupon Mr. Stetson read the form of compact offered <br /> <br />by Mr. Caldl~ell) <br />MR.
