The controversy results from a desire to harness portions of the Colorado river that flow through the Grand Canyon 1o meet farther water needs of California and Arizona, and for providing electric power to these and other states in the Colorado River Basin. The controversial measure, HR 4671, provides for the construction of two new dams on the Colorado river, one above, and one below the Grand Canyon. The sponsors claim that the dams would leave intact those parts of the Grand Canyon familiar to visitors. The Marble Canyon damsite is located 12 miles above Grand Canyon National Park, and would seem to have little effect, on the Colorado river as it passes through the Grand Canyon except to modify the extremes of flow which occur at present. The Bridge Canyon Dam, proposed to be built later, would be constructed 80 miles below the Grand Canyon and would undoubtedly cause the normal level of the Colorado river to rise within the southern part of the Grand Canyon National Park as well as in a large area outside the Park: Proponents of the bill include the House and Senate members from Arizona, California, Color-j ado, Nevada, New Mexico, . Utah, and Wyoming (the Color-] ado river basin states), as well! as many other members of the j Congress who claim to have studied this subject objectively. Senator Thomas Kuchel of| California contends that this? project will provide water needed to accommodate the 50 million residents who will live in California by the year 2000. Rep. Morris Udall of Arizona (brother of Secretary of the Interior Stewart Udall) expects the projects to bring added water supplies to his state. However, he also cites the multiplepurposes of power, irrigation, flood control, recreation and other uses which the Grand Canyon projects would benefit. Opponents of the pending bill, including hundreds who have communicated with this member, fear that the proposed dams will mean that the beauty of the Grand Canyon, as well as the habitat of various plants and animals now found there, would be adversely affected. The Sierra club and many other conservationist groups have joined in the protest against interfering with the completely natural state of the Grand Canyon. The measure Will soon reach the floor of the United States House of Representatives, where it will be necessary for the 435 members to weigh the issue dispassionately aftd obj e c t i v e l y . . C o n s t i t u e n t s f r o m each Congressional district will then have to gauge those votes-- understanding^.
