<br />COmr!Iittee of Fourteen is convinced that, when all the provisions
<br />of the t1inute are read together, they must be interpreted to
<br />mean that the salinity relationship g~arantee cannot become a
<br />legal obligation of the United State", and therefore cannot be
<br />effectuated, ,mtil Congrass has enacted appropriate legislation
<br />(i.e. authorizing the desalting plant at Wellton-Moha;nc and the
<br />lining of the Coachella Canal). . If the llinute <<ere to be read
<br />other;Qse, it would in effect constitute 'an ultimatum to the
<br />Congress and. the Basin States, meaning that whether or not
<br />Congress enacted the necessary authorizations and appropriations,
<br />the President intended to effectuate the salinity guarantee no
<br />later than July. 1, 1971t, ,dth Hater'that does not belong to the

<br />satisfactory assurances on groundlIa ter pumping and replacenent
<br />of. brine losses are 'also enacted, we would face serious injur,'
<br />from implementation of :1inute 242.
