<br />constructed, and this wduld answer the same purpose. That would <br /> <br />be at the opt:i:on of the lower states, 'I dbn't think that this <br /> <br />would rush' the development of the"'river b~yond "hat snould be' <br /> <br />normal. These structures on the river are ultimately going to <br /> <br />pay for themselves, or else we have all mi$calculated, and this <br />one can be added and finally paid for in the same manner. Some <br /> <br />of us seem to have a very great deal of confidence in the <br /> <br />paternalism of the Federal Government. It ,wuld be a fine thing <br /> <br />if the Federal Government would undertake to control the river <br /> <br />to such an extent that 1{e could partition the l1aters betHeen these <br /> <br />basins. <br /> <br />NR. HOOVER: As a matter of physical fact, it doesn't <br /> <br />matter ~Ihethe:r the storage is in the upper or louer basin, <br /> <br />MR. CA1D',lEll: I uould say except theoretically. Theoreti- <br /> <br />cally the upper basin Hould not want to be held to passing six <br /> <br />million acre-feet past lee's Ferry l/hen that "ater ought to be, <br /> <br />and HaS, stored below. <br /> <br />MR. HOOVER: That "as why I made the suggestion of some <br /> <br />sort of retroactive plan, based on the amount that had gone <br /> <br />down to storage. <br /> <br />MR. CALDj,IELL: I think that matter Gould be settled, but <br /> <br />I am wondering ~Thether or not this language should be changed' to <br /> <br />meet that situation? <br /> <br />MR. HOOVER: As a matter of physical'fact again, the flow <br /> <br />at Lee's Ferry, even after deducting the present usage from the <br /> <br />upper basin, at its worst'period has not been less than ten <br /> <br />14th-S,F, <br />38 <br /> <br />184 <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br /> <br />v <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />., <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />184 <br />
