problems for Southern California and would impede the solution of the water supply
problems of the Pacific Southt.,est and the entire Colorado River Basin; and
WHEREAS. Secretary of the Interior Udall has proposed a Pacific Southwest
Water Plan which if adopted would ultimately result in abandonment of the Metropolitan

Southern California and without providing a solution to the many other existing and
future Colorado River water supply problems; and
