<br />20 <br /> <br />statement that can go into the record as to what the full situation <br />. . <br /> <br />of each state is. I think all of you are engineers except Mr. <br /> <br /> <br />Carpenter and myself who are la'lYers and do !lot know very much about <br /> <br /> <br />engineering but we have each one an engineer with us and I would sug- <br /> <br />gest that when we reach that peint we proceed that way, and have the <br />states one by one give a full statoment of the situation, giving the <br /> <br />actual figures as to their respective state~, and after that is done <br />it seems to me that we can act more wisely ~s to what will give the <br /> <br />best final results. <br />Secretary Hoover (Chairman).

Arizona is particularly interested in the <br /> <br />Colorado River and its development at the e~rliest possible date. <br /> <br /> <br />We have as much at' stake, I presume, as any of the other states, in- <br /> <br />asmuch as we are almost wholly within the B~sin of the Colorado, and <br /> <br />we desire very much that the "ork laid eut 1:>Y this Conunission proceed <br /> <br />in a proper and orderly manner that the end!may be attained as early <br /> <br /> <br />as possible and that the river may be so deyeloped or the beginning': <br /> <br />, <br />, <br />of the development may be at the earliest p9ssible date, for there is <br /> <br /> <br />a serious condition in the lower part of the river for both Arizona <br /> <br /> <br />and Oalifornia. 1 have a ,lritten statement. I do not know whether <br /> <br />this is the proper time to present it or not. If it is I will be glad <br />to submit it; if not, I will wait until a l~ter time, <br />I <br /> <br />Secretary Hoover (Ohairman), I am woni:lering if we cannot confine <br /> <br /> <br />ourselves for the present to a consideratior of a program, <br /> <br />20 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />i'-:' <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br />
