<br />STATEMENT OF HON, CLIFFORD H. STONE, DIRECTOR, COLORADO
<br />WATER CONSERVATION BOARD
<br />
<br />Mr. MURDOOK. We will now have Judge Stone present the witnesses,
<br />ir there is no objection.
<br />Mr. STONE. Mr. Chairman and members or the committee, my name
<br />is Clifford H. Stone; I am director of the Colorado Water Conserva-
<br />tion Board, and appear here. in support or H. R. 4l51, being a bill to
<br />grant congressional consent to the Arkansas River compact.
<br />The Congress on Aprill9, 1945, through Public Law 34, Seventy-
<br />ninth Congress, chapter 79, first session, granted consent to the States
<br />or Colorado and Kansas to negotiate a compact. The negotiations
<br />were initiated shortly aIter the passage or that act, and on the 14th
<br />day or December 1948, at Denver, Colo., the Arkansas River Compact
<br />was signed by the commissioners or the two States.
<br />The act of April 19, 1945, authorized the President to appoint a
<br />Federal representative. Gen. Hans Kramer, who is here today, was
<br />appointed Federal representative, The compact which appears in the
<br />bill was approved on the same day, namely, the. l4th day of December,
<br />1948, by General Kramer as the representative of the United States.
<br />After the compact was negotiated and signed by the commissioners,
<br />it was ratified by the legislatures of the two States, or rather a bill
<br />was passed by the Legislature of Colorado, or to be more specific, the
<br />General Assembly of Colorado, which was approved by the Governor
<br />of Colorado on February 19, 1949.
<br />I offer for the record a certified coPY of Senate bill No. II of the
<br />General Assembly of Colorado, ratirymg this compact. I suggest
<br />that that portion of this bill, which includes the reproduction of the
<br />compact, lie eliminated, since that is in the bill, and hence unnecessary
<br />printing will be saved.
<br />Mr. MURDOCK. That is contained in the bill!
<br />Mr, STONE. Yes,
<br />Mr. MURDOCK. It is so ordered.
