TITLE II—ALL AMERICAN CANAL LINING

SEC. 201. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS.

Congress hereby finds and declares that:

(1) The Boulder Canyon Project Act ("Project Act") was
enacted to conserve the waters of the lower Colorado River for a
number of public purposes, including the storage and delivery of
water for reclamation of public lands and other uses exclusively
within the United States.

(2) The Secretary of the Interior ("Secretary") was authorized
by the Project Act to construct what is now Hoover Dam, Lake
Mead, and the All American Canal and "to contract for the
storage of water in said reservoir and for the delivery thereof at
such points on the river and on said canal as may be agreed
upon . . .".

(3) The Project Act provides that "no person shall have or be
entitled to have the use for any purpose of the water stored as
aforesaid except by contract" and in California the Secretary
has entered into water delivery contracts with public agencies.

(4) The Secretary's water delivery contracts incorporate the
Seven Party Agreement of August 18, 1931, under which water
that is not applied to beneficial use by a California Contractor is
available for use by the California Contractor with the next
priority.

(5) The available supply of Colorado River water in California
is insufficient to meet the priorities set forth in the Seven Party
Agreement.

(6) The Secretary's water delivery contracts with the Califor-
nia Contractors provide that the total beneficial consumptive
use under the first three priorities established in the contracts
shall not exceed 3.85 million acre-feet of water per year.

(7) The rights of all California Contractors are defined by the
Project Act, their contracts, and decisions and decrees of the
United States Supreme Court.
