WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3, 1942

JOINT SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE COMMITTEE ON
COMMERCE OF THE SENATE AND THE COMMITTEE
ON RIVERS AND HARBORS OF THE

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,

Washington, D. C.

The joint subcommittee met, pursuant to call, at 10:30 a. m., in the hearing room of the Committee on Rivers and Harbors of the House, Senator John H. Overton presiding.

Present Senators Overton, McNary, and Burton; and Representatives Smith, Peterson, Carter, Dondero, and Angell.

Senator OVERTON. The committee will come to order.

This is a joint hearing, composed of members of the Senate Committee on Commerce and the Committee on Rivers and Harbors of the House of Representatives, to consider S. 2430, a bill to amend the Bonneville Act to authorize the acquisition of utility systems and to coordinate the operation of the Government's power facilities on the Columbia River, and for other purposes.

I suggest that at this point there be incorporated in the record the bill that we have under consideration, and I think that it would be well, immediately following the introduction of that bill, to reproduce the present Bonneville Act.

Senator BONE. I can supply the reporter with a copy of it; and I might add, Senator Overton, that there are two House bills that are identical to this S. 2430.

Senator OVERTON. We will also consider the companion bills introduced in the House, H. R. 6889 and H. R. 6890, but it will not be necessary to reproduce but one of the bills.

(S. 2430, and the so-called Bonneville Act, Public No. 329, 75th Cong., ch. 720, 1st sess., are reproduced below.)

[S. 2430, 77th Cong., 2d sess.]

A BILL To amend the Bonneville Act to authorize the acquisition of utility systems and to coordinate the operation of the Government's power facilities on the Columbia River, and for other purposes

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the Act of August 20, 1937 (50 Stat. 731, 16 U. S. C., sec. 832 ff.) as amended by the Act of March 6, 1940 (54 Stat. 47), hereinafter referred to as the Bonneville Act, is amended as in this Act provided. SEC. 2. Section 1 of the said Bonneville Act is hereby amended to read as follows:

"For the purpose of improving navigation on the Columbia River; for controlling the destructive floods thereof; for the storage, diversion, and development of water for the irrigation of arid and semiarid lands; for promoting the widest possible and most efficient use of electric energy; and for other purposes incidental
