Show CALIFORNIA DEFENDANTS Exhibit No. 1805 Identification: Aug. 9, 1957 Admitted: Aug. 9, 1957 Extract From Hearings Before Senate Committee on Irrigation and Reclamation on S. 728 and S. 1274, 70th Cong., 1st Sess. (1928). (pp. 38-40) Mr. Winsor [Secretary, Colorado River Commission of Arizona and President, Arizona State Senate]. Reduced to specific terms, Arizona objects to the Swing-Johnson bill for the following reasons: "1. Because, although professing to adopt the provisions of the Colorado River compact (sec. 4) and professing to be supplemental to the national reclamation act (sec. 13), it would deny the right of regulation and control by any State within its boundaries of the appropriation, use, and distribution of water, an essential right claimed by every Western State, including California, and recognized in the Colorado River compact, the national reclamation act, and the Federal power act-a right which no State can afford to surrender without adequate compensation-and would ignore the method provided by the compact for the determination of controversies between the States." |
