Malcolm Wallop, R-Wyo., who <br />will chaIr next month's hearmg, said <br />the bjIJ should make clear that "a state <br />has lhe unfeuered right to hterally kill <br />a coal sJurry pipeline, .. <br />The pending legislauon would grant <br />federal po.....er of eminent domam to <br />developers of pipelines that would car. <br />ry a mixture of pulvenzed coal and wa- <br />ter from the mmes to coat users. <br />BIlls now before Congress say the <br />power of emment domain could not be <br />used toobffim waler rIghts. <br />Howe...er, slurry Ime optx)nems say <br />that after a Ime is in operation the <br />ConstitutIon's commerce clause would <br />prevent a state from cuttmg oH the wa. <br />ter because such an act would interfere <br />WIth mterstate commerce. <br />Wallop said a slurry bill must "be <br />crafted to leave nothing to the Imagm. <br />atlon of any Court 111 this land, so that <br />nothing m thiS legislation shall be <br />construed as an infnngement upOn. . . <br />the right of a Slale 10 control and direct <br />the use of its water." <br />In the House, Reps.
