This includes fostering the <br />wisest use of our land and water resources, protecting our fish and <br />wildlife, preserving the environmental and cultural values of our <br />national parks and historic places, and providing for the enjoyment of <br />life through outdoor recreation. The Department assesses our energy <br />and mineral resources, and works to assure that their development is <br />in the best interests of all our people. The Department also has a <br />major responsibility for American Indian reservation communities and <br />for people who live in Island Territories under U.S. Administration. <br /> <br />Nothing in this study is intended to interpret the prOV1Slons of <br />the Colorado River Compact (45 Stat. 1057), the Upper Colorado River <br />Basin Compact (63 Stat. 31), the Water Treaty of 1944 with the United <br />Mexican States (Treaty Series 994, 59 Stat. 1219), the decree entered <br />by the Supreme Court of the United States in Arizona v.
