Easy-to-build projects have been constructed or are well on their way to being finished. From here on, it is largely a program of giant projects on interstate streams. Many new problems are pre sented in connection with these new multiple-purpose develop ments. I have prepared leglsla tion which I believe will go a long way to help solve these new problems. Enclosed is a copy of a speech which I prepared In ex planation of this legislation While I may not be able to de liver it as of the Introduction of the bill, you may quote freely from it. Since the reclamation program is of such vital Importance to the west and every part of it, Iarn estly urge that you give this legislation and the reasons for it serious consideration. I might suggest to you that I was engaged in representing water users In connection with reclamation projects for more than 14 years before coming to the Congress. I met some of these problems head-on. I think I see what we must do if we are to stop the creation of giant Federal Fed-eral utility bureaucracy which will in the end operate most of the large water and power projects proj-ects of the west. These giant reclamation projects can be carried car-ried out another way. I think I have pointed this out in my legislation legis-lation and in my speech. The resources of the West be long to the West. When the peo ple have paid for the construc tion , of these projects, they should own and operate them. In fact, the operation can begin when each unit is finished. All of this will be made possible under my bill. I realize this matter will be controversial, but it is of great Importance -to the people at the west and to our free enterprise system and our rights of operat ing and owning our own re sources. Yours very sincerely, Arthur V. Watkins United States Senator from Utah. ( T ' ( ; k : FRANK L. GAISFORD, elected to lead local Rotarians.
