I offer amendments en bloc today to prevent a Federal reserve water right created in the California Desert Protection Act from interfering with the Colorado River Compact. The amendment I have today has been voted on by this body before. It was passed in the Arizona Wilderness Act of 1990. Mr. Chairman. this amendment has been taken word for word from that provision. This amendment applies to the same refugee areas. the Imperial and the Havasu refuge areas. It has an unintended consequence not brought to our attention until after the full committee. The only difference is this bill affects the California side of the Colorado River which divides these same refuge areas.
