<br />- <br /> <br />,. <br /> <br />'.' <br /> <br />is prob<,bly \'Ii thin the province of the Commission to make <br />some suggestions as to the general policy with regcrd to the <br />development of the river for storage pu~poses because it is <br />storage of these wators that will ultimately bring the maxi- <br />mum water supply and benefit to these states. We will have 3 <br />great many people here during tho dates set for the hearing <br />who huve be"n so good as to undertake to proscnt 'heir views <br />to the Commission nnd we trust they will be directly Ilnd <br />Syecifically to these points so far as practicable. I think <br />it might almost be taken as certain that the Commission is <br />fully aware of the physical topography generlllly of the <br />Colorado river basin and it is h~rdly necessary for much <br />clabore.tion in that direction. What the Commission desires <br />g6nerally to henr is a discussion of the main issues as con- <br />cerns a compact bet~een tho seven states involved. <br />We would likc to henr discussions and testimony up- <br />on the form of such 0. compact and with this expl[mat ion. <br />matters arc now o~en to the pUblic. <br />But belfore opening the tQstimony or discussions VIr. <br />W.F.McClure, of California, desires first to make a general <br />statement as to the situation in the extreme southwest and I <br />now therefore call on l\Ir.
