The subcommittee met at 9:45 a.m. in room 1324, Longworth House Office Building, Hon. Wayne N. Aspinall (acting chairman of the subcommittee) presiding. Mr. ASPINALL. The Subcommittee on Irrigation and Reclamation will now be in session for receiving further testimony on Senate bill No. 2, which has received the approval of the other body and is now before this committee, and kindred House bills which are before the committee. In the absence of the gentleman from Texas, Mr. Rogers, chairman of this subcommittee, the chairman of the full committee will take care of the chairing of the sessions today and tomorrow at his request. Hearings were held on this legislation on June 24 and 25 and July 22 and 23 of this year, at which time representatives of the various departments and agencies of Government were heard. The Chair wishes to explain as we begin the hearings that he is very appreciative of the fact that we do have present this morning the members who are in attendance. This is one of those weeks which could not have been foreseen, so many of our members have left the city and are out in their districts, or in somebody else's districts, taking care of their individual and mutual responsibilities. When a session of Congress goes into the fall as long as this one has it is almost imposible to hold hearings on bills as they should be held. This morning and this afternoon we will hear from representatives of the universities. The first group we will hear is headed by Dr. William E. Morgan, president of the Colorado State University and chairman of the Water Resources Committee, Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges. I shall advise my colleagues that Dr. Morgan is president of the university which by recent action made me an honorary alumnus and I am really very proud to have the doctor here. He is accompanied by Dr. E. F. Osborn, vice president for research, Pennsylvania State University, Dr. Ralph B. Draughon, president, Auburn University: Dr. E. T. York, provost, University of Florida, presented to us a while ago by our colleagues Billy Matthews; and Dr. Daniel G. Aldrich, chancellor, University of California at Irvine. |
