WEST said the Farm Bureau chose South Korea in particular because the climate of that country and New Jersey are similar; because of the active interest shown by the government of the Republic of Korea; and because South Koreans rightly deserve our support in their present effort to build a showcase for freedom and individual initiative in the Far East.

Wafer Rights Subject Of New Senate Bill Senator Frank E. Moss (D --Utah) announced he will introduce in the 91st Congress a bill which would clarify the interests of the Federal government and States in the use of water in certain streams over which flicts exist. jurisdiction con- Senator Moss said the bill is known as the Water Rights Act and has received strong support for several years. During the 90th Congress former Senator Thomas Kuchel of California was the principal sponsor, but now Senator Moss will author the bill for the 91st Congress. During 1968 Senator Moss held several hearings in Washington, D.C. and throughout the Western United States, gathering testimony for the bill. I will invite various Republican Senators to join me as cosponsors of the bill to maintain the strong support we have in the past, Senator Moss enjoyed bi-parti- san san said. This legislation would estab- lish jurisdictional guidelines for some of the more common areas of dispute between various federal agencies and the states, Senator Moss said. As increasing amounts of our total available water resources are put to beneficial use, undefined federal rights to these resources have created uncertainty and hampered state and local governments in their attempts to meet the needs of their citizens through their own efforts, Senator Moss said. The first section of the bill would require the federal' government to give fair notice oHts intentions regarding water which originates on federal land. This is especially Important in the West where extensive federal ownership of land means that much of the water arises under situations which seemingly gives the United States prior rights to its use by the mere withdrawal or reservation of lands leaving all downstream users at the mercy of any future idea proposed by some federal agency. The object of this section is not to prevent the federal government from asserting s right to these Senator Moss said. waters, Rather it only requires fair notice of Intentions regarding water including the purpose quantity and the priority of the right reserved. This will permit others to then develop the balance without fear of losing it later. Section H deals with the reverse situation where the water right is one which the United States claims pursuant to state law. Section III directs the federal to compensate the government owners of state-creat- ed water rights when it takes their rights if the state would also be required to compensate the owner if it took the right. Section IV requires the federal government to initiate condemnation proceedings when it cannot acquire a water right from the owner by state-creat- agreement. Section V is a carefully drafted section to prevent a broader interpretation of the act than is intended. The resistence to this legislation by a number of these federal officials is ample indication to me that the abuses which this bill seeks to ameliorate are still considered sound federal policy in some quarters, and we can expect to see them cropping up as we continue to develop our water resources. This legislation has been modified many times over the past few years, in most instances to meet objections of the federal agencies.
