<br />9.3 <br /> <br />MR;HOOVER: Therefore, you do not consider it possible to get <br /> <br />" ". . <br />arty agreement upon an acreage basis at the present time? <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />MR. CAWHE11: As far as I'm concerned, it might be taken as a <br /> <br />sugge'stive matter. I understand that we might consider getting <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />together on the basis of the Reclamation figures as to the acre- <br /> <br />age in the various States. I think, for a matter to consider, it <br /> <br />should be submitted to the Commission and not to conclude at this <br /> <br />time on a working basis. Nothing that I have said is to be taken <br /> <br />as arty indication that I will for Utah, at any time, accept any <br /> <br />acreage limitation, or that I consider it the proper basis on whioh <br /> <br />to allocate the water of the Colorado River. <br /> <br />MR. HOOVER: Could He noH specify a specific number of acres <br />that would fall Hithin the scope of the river, on the basis of <br />'Hhich computations may be made. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />MR. CAWWE11: The estimate of acreage by the Reclamation Ser- <br /> <br />vice may be somewhere near right and may ultimately be all that <br /> <br />any State will wish within 50 years to reclaim. I am not prepared <br /> <br />to conclude on that basis. <br /> <br />(Mr. Emerson entered the room at this point and Mr. Hoover <br />explained to him the brief previous discussion.) <br /> <br />MR. CAW~JE1L: I may explain, if you wish, that if we finally <br /> <br />determine to put it on an acreage basis, I think it is nwduty as <br /> <br />a Commissioner from the State of Utah to determine to nw own satis- <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />faction the acreage in our State. Personally, I do not think it <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />should ever be necessary to do it under the circumstances, but it <br /> <br />may come to that. <br /> <br />w. <br /> <br />~.l. <br />
