1 VADA, AND MOAPA PROJECTS IN ASSISTANCE FROM THE
2 DEVELOPMENT FUND.-The Secretary of the Interior is au-
3 thorized and directed to report to the Congress the amounts
4 of the construction costs of the Dixie project, Utah (hereto-
5 fore authorized for construction), and of the proposed south-
6 ern Nevada water supply project and Moapa Valley pumping
7 project, as those two proposed projects are described in the
8 Bureu of Reclamation's supplemental information reports
9 dated January 1964, which are in excess of the repayment
10 capacity of the respective water users, and which, in his
11 judgment, may appropriately be repaid to the Treasury out of
12 revenues to accrue in the development fund. Upon approval
13 of his recommendations by resolutions of the Committee on
14 Interior and Insular Affairs of both the Senate and House of
15 Representatives, the accounts of those projects, and of the
16 development fund, shall be adjusted accordingly to effectuate
17 the recommended assistance. This direction, with respect to
18 the proposed southern Nevada project and Moapa project,
19 respectively, shall terminate at the end of five years after the
20 enactment of this Act if the Congress shall not have author-
21 ized such project prior thereto.

2.5 million acre feet into the main stream below Lee Ferry, from sources outside the natural drainage area of the Colorado River System which are adequate, in the President's judgment, to permanently supply such quantities, the Secretary shall administer Article II (B) (3) of the Supreme Court's decree (which relates to the insufficiency of water to supply 7.5 million acre feet in consumptive use), as follows: diversions for the Central Arizona Project shall be limited to the extent necessary to assure the availability of water to satisfy 4.4 million acre feet of consumptive use in California, plus the satisfaction of present perfected rights in Arizona and Nevada and the satisfaction of the government's contracts with water users in those two states made before passage of the Act. This is the substance of the Mosk amendment.
Comment
1. These suggestions would cure the three primary defects (from the viewpoint of California water users) in the Udall Plan as submitted to Congress:
(i) The original plan would authorize the Central Arizona Project, which would increase the overdraft on present main stream supplies, but the plan would not authorize importation works to cure the overdraft or even meet the additional overdraft that the Central Arizona Project would cause.
(ii) It failed to protect California's existing uses (now 5.1 million acre feet) even to the extent of the 4.4 million acre feet referred to in the California Limitation Act.
(iii) It contemplated the abandonment or reduction of existing California diversions from the Colorado to the extent that California projects receive from Northern California sources 1.2 million acre feet of water which they in fact need in addition to, not in replacement of, 4.4 million acre feet of their present Colorado River supplies, and which they expect to get anyhow through the State Water Plan.
2. Delivery of the specified quantity into the main stream, not at some place of use in the interior of California, is essential for at least four reasons:
(i) At least 1.5 million acre feet, plus an appropriate share by carriage losses, can then be identified with shortages occasined by the Mexican Treaty burden, with possible financial advantages to the regional plan, and with positive advantages to

INTRODUCTION
The Marble Canyon Dam Project Proposal is examined in detail in this paper as it provides a good lead into the Colorado River story. The whole Colorado River problem is not studied however, but some conclusions are reached on the basis of the material covered.
For the purpose of orientation, two illustrations are provided; the Colorado River Profile on Page 2 and a map showing the Statewide Transmission System on Page 3.Epson Perfection 4870 Photo, 400 dpi, 8 bit, 1,780,838 byte
