<br />MR, HOOVER: vJhen we left off yesterday, ,Ie: were discus- <br /> <br />sing the division of the WQters between the upper and the lower <br />groups. I think we might go on with that discussion. <br /> <br />MR. NORVIEL: Mr, Secretary, inasmuch as I did not re- <br />c~ive a copy of either of these proposed compacts or drafts <br />until Thursday evening, and Friday morning, I hav,;m' t had <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />sufficient time to go into the' analysis of the language. I <br /> <br />have a few questions I ;,uuld like to ask to clarify some of <br /> <br />the points raised in these compacts. I don't fool like enter- <br /> <br />ing into any discussion of the proposed compacts until these <br /> <br />matters may be clarified by answe~, and or vlould like to have <br />the answers either in writing or transcribed so that I ~ <br /> <br />study them. Thon we ,Iill take up the genoral discussion, if <br /> <br />it is the will of the Commission; on these proposed drafts. <br />Until then I do not fael like ,entering into a general discus- <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />sion of the main question. <br /> <br />NR. HOOVER: vJhat are the questions? He might as well get · <br /> <br />to it. <br /> <br />MR. NO~IEL: The first question I desire to ask is this: <br /> <br />Is the fifty-fl.fty proposition an arbit:r;ary division of t)le <br /> <br />waters or is it based on facts and conditions? <br /> <br />MR, CARPENTER: You mean 1:iased on 'facts. The fifty-fifty <br /> <br />division plan proceeds as it appears in the tentative draft <br /> <br />offered by mo, upon the basis! of the t\,onty_year record at Yuma. · <br /> <br /> <br />Harking out from that t\'lRnty_year record, the object has been . <br /> <br />and is to ascertain hovl much more v~ter must flow past Lee's <br /> <br />12th-S.F, <br />2 <br /> <br />72 <br /> <br />72 <br />
