Show -3- such congressional consent to the Upper Colorado River Basin Compact. S. 790 (H. R. 2325) does not, nor does the Upper Colorado River Basin compact, alter, amend, modify, or repeal the Boulder Canyon Project Act (45 Stat. 1057) or the Colorado River Compact signed at Santa Fe, N. Mex., on November 24, 1922. It is recognized that the Upper Colorado River Basin Compact is binding only upon the States which are signatory thereto and does not impair any rights of any State not signatory thereto, and that the Upper Colorado River Basin Compact is subject, in all respects, to the provisions and limitations contained in the Colorado River Compact. It is further recognized that Congress, by giving its consent to the Upper Colorado River Basin Compact, does not commit the United States to any interpretation of the Colorado River Compact, expressed in, or implied from the Upper Colorado River Basin Compact, and expresses neither agreement nor disagreement with any such interpretation. Mr. Knowland. I thank the Senator for his statement, and I have no objection. The Vice President. Is there objection to the present consideration of the bill? There being no objection, the bill was considered, ordered to be engrossed for a third reading, read the third time and passed. . . . |
