MEMOR ANDUM
February 10, 1949
Subject: Imperial Valley Control of
Boundary Border
Senator Connally and Secretary Krug have spoken to me about a
controversy between the Imperial Valley water district and possibly
the Department of the Interior relating to the claim of the district
to have control of the headgates through which water flows into the
all-American canal or into the district's outlets from the canal. As
I
understand it, a recent letter from Mr. Lovett to Secretary Krug
states the opinion that the water district could have physical control
of the outlets but that legal control and supervision should rest either
in the Federal Government or in the International Commission.
Both the Senator and the Secretary are of the opinion that as a
practical matter such a solution is not workable and they also state
that this view is contrary to personal assurances which I gave as
Assistant Secretary in 1945 when the water treaty was before the
Senate, and on the strength of which some of the Southwestern Sena-
tors voted for the treaty. I have some recollection but not a very clear
one of this matter.
I should like to have a full memorandum with particular references
to anything that I said or wrote and statements made either on my be -
half or stemming from anything I said or wrote in the course of the
hearings.
