- Description:
- Senator Fred R. Harris sent a letter to Mrs. Zorah E. Sigg's enclosing a report from the Bureau of Indian Affairs regarding the Colorado River Basin Project. The project aims to provide water support for the Hualapai Tribe and is currently before Congress for authorization. The bill, if enacted, would authorize the construction of Hualapai Dam, provide compensation to the Tribe, and grant them certain rights and access to resources. The letter from Mrs. Sigg's expressing support for the project was also enclosed in the correspondence.
