HONORABLE STEWART UDALLQ
SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR WASHDC
THE PROLONGED DELAY IN RELEASING AN INTERIOR DEPARTMENT REPORT TO CONGRESS SUPPORTING THE CENTRAL ARIZONA PROJECT HAS ALARMED THE FARMERS IN OUR ASSOCIATION. WE WANT IMMEDIATE FAVORABLE ACTION BY YOU TO EXPEDITE THE CENTRAL AMERICAN PROJECT. ANY DELAY IN BRINGING SUPPLEMENTAL WATER TO CENTRAL ARIZONA WILL CERTAINLY CAUSE THE ECONOMIC COLLAPSA OF ADDITIONAL FARMS AND THE RESULTANT LOSS TO OUR PEOPLE AND TO THE STATE.

Dear Mike:
Thank you for your letter of December 24 stating the recommendations of the Colorado River Board on the position California should take to protect our existing projects against the proposed Central Arizona Project and for your letter of January 10 enclosing suggested amendments to the Hayden-Goldwater Bill, S. 1658. I understand the Board's recommendations to be the following:
1. Existing projects in Arizona, California and Nevada that use water from the mainstream of the Colorado should be considered prior in right to the proposed Central Arizona project should there be less than 7. 5 million acre feet available from the mainstream. California's priority would be limited to 4.4 million acre feet.
2. The suggested priority should be included not only in S. 1658 which relates only to the Central Arizona project, but also "in any other legislation such as a regional plan in which the Central Arizona project would be a component. " The Board recognizes that substitutes for the Colorado River supply can be provided and "if that substitute supply at no greater cost is provided, no harm has been done."
The deficiencies in your recommendations appear to me to be two-fold. The Board does not base the assertion of a California priority to 4.4 million acre feet on a claim of legal right. Rather, you base it on equitable, economic, and moral arguments. Although these arguments are impressive to us, we must recognize that Arizona can and has invoked substantial arguments which have been persuasive once and may be again.Epson Perfection 4870 Photo, 400 dpi, 8 bit, 3,087,413 byte
Letter - State of California Governor's Office
No full textLetter: From Governor Edmund G. Brown, to M.J. Dowd, January 22, 1964 (carbon copy), page 3I therefore recommend that the Board amend its proposed amendment by insertion of the following paragraph (a) and that the remainder of your amendment be redesignated (b), (c) and (d).
"(a) The provisions of this section shall be operative only so long as the Congress does not provide for the construction, operation and maintenance of a regional plan, substantially as outlined in the comments of the State of California on the Pacific Southwest Water Plan submitted by the State to the Secretary of the Interior in December 1963, and meeting the objectives set forth therein including, but not limited to, the following. Said regional plan shall provide water sufficient to make up any deficiencies of mainstream Colorado River water available to satisfy consumptive uses in Arizona, California, and Nevada in the annual amounts of 2.8, 4.4 and 0.3 million acre feet respectively, at the costs to users that would have prevailed if such mainstream waters were available for said uses in said annual amounts. Said regional plan shall also provide that the costs of water to users in the areas of origin and the states from which water is exported for the purposes of the regional plan shall be met at costs to said users no greater than those that would have prevailed if the exports from said areas of origin and states for the purposes of the regional plan had not been made. "
This amendment represents the substance of my thinking. It would, of course, be subject to alteration or elimination, if a regional plan acceptable to California is enacted into law.
Sincerely,
(Signed)
Edmund G. Brown
Governor

Proposed Questions and Answers on Pacific Southwest Water Plan
No full textDocument: proposed questions and answers on Pacific Southwest Water Plan, 1963 (photocopy), page 6Q. Does the Southwest Water Plan in effect, take Metropolitan Water District of Southern California "off of the Colorado River?"
A. Under conditions of future developments of the Upper Colorado River Basin the Colorado River water supply between present time and the year 2000 will continue to diminish and the amount available for distribution to the Lower Basin States may eventually drop below 7.5 million acre-feet annually. Assuming that the Colorado River priority system for California would hold, the Colorado River aqueduct diversions would eventually be curtailed substantially. It should be recognized that this condition could take place regradless of the advent of the Pacific Southwest Water Plan. The plan would offset such curtailment by direct diversion from Northern California.
Q. Effect of the plan on proposed works for the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.
A. The effect on Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta will require close attention in order that the repulsion of salt water is maintained. This is a problem associated not only with Pacific Southwest Water Plan but also with courrent and future developments of the Central Valley Project and the State Water Plan. Works would be built as required toEpson Perfection 4870 Photo, 400 dpi, 8 bit, 1,159,339 byte
Proposed Questions and Answers on Pacific Southwest Water Plan
No full textDocument: proposed questions and answers on Pacific Southwest Water Plan, 1963 (photocopy), page 7maintain this condition. One solution may be a peripheral canal around the upper adge of the Delta, from which releases would be made to maintain the desired quality of water in the Delta. This is currently under investigation by the Federal, State, and local agencies. A mutually satisfactory plan can be developed. The Pacific Southwest Water Plan will not add any unusual problems by itself.
Q. In view of the huge annual appropriations required to implement the plan, has any consideration been given to a coordinate construction program involving both the Bureau of Reclamation and the Army Corps of Engineers?
A. This program is fundamentally a Reclamation proposal of water conservation involving pumping plants, power facilities, and water conveyance. Appropriate coordination with the Corps of Engineers will be undertaken in line with the respective functions of the two agencies. The funding of this program is a matter that will be up to the Congress.
Q. What are the areas of potential conflict between the proposed enlarged State water plan and the Pacific Southwest Water Plan and how will such conflicts be eliminated?
A. Any duplication between the plans of the California State Water Agency and Reclamation can be eliminated by liaison and coordination. The Congress is not likely to fund construction that the State is willing and able to finance alons.Epson Perfection 4870 Photo, 400 dpi, 8 bit, 1,140,500 byte
