HALiELE: TnW tho federal rights are fi.rst, tho pi,""nmount right ef <br />navigat.ion, vrhich affects flood control~ Tho United states also has tho <br />O1ffiership, I believe, of nIl of the unappropriated rrnter ef the Basin.

It has rights undor the Federal Uater Porrer Act that possibly <br />don't conflict ..rith anythinG in this compact, but there are possibilities that <br />vie could conceive of by nhich that Act could be mnended so that these rights <br />miGht become in conflict rrith this compact unless they were reserved.
