<br />MR. CALD\'iELL: The combination of time an.i'l c(tll. by sev"ral <br /> <br />. <br /> <br /> <br />MR. . HOOVER: That 'is, . at anytime after blank years, . " .., <br /> <br />the Governors of any three, states concurring, or any two <br /> <br />states and the President of the United States concurring, may. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />issue a call for reconvening of this Commission, for the pur-' <br /> <br />pose of revision. . <br /> <br />MR; EFIERSON: That is all right, except the blank,' <br /> <br />HR. HOOVER: It comes, more or less, to a continuing <br /> <br />compact subject to the call and reconsideration and, therefore, <br /> <br /> <br />meets Hr. Carpenter's point on that. The point left open is <br /> <br />whether this call can be issued tomorrow or whether it cannot <br /> <br />be issued fora certain number of term of years . The thought <br /> <br />strikes me, and there is really weight to the argument, that <br /> <br />this situation could be allowed to develop for a term of years. <br /> <br />Viewing it practically, it will be at least forty years before' <br /> <br />the development of the basin will have taken place to such <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />an extent as to bring up any serious conflict. That is, the <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />physical process of bringing lands underwater and building <br /> <br />dams and canals and financing themHil~ require a. long' period. <br /> <br />There will be a fairly long time befor~ any conflict ~dll <br /> <br />actually arise, and it is desirable, it'would .seem to ,me, that. <br /> <br />there should be peace on the Potomac during the l1hole of this' <br />preliminary period of development at l~ast. <br /> <br />MR, CARPENTER: <br /> <br />, <br />, <br />And no sword of' D$.mocles hanging 8,ll the. <br /> <br />time to precipitate a conflict. <br /> <br />of the interested parties could easily: be made, it seems to me, <br /> <br />For instance, we could provide that th~ call shall not be made <br /> <br />before fifty years, say, in any event,' <br />174 <br /> <br />14th-S,F, <br />28 <br /> <br />174 <br />
