% E. E B. MAY 2 0 1954 i f Salt Lake City, May 19, 1954 Mr. W, R. Rouse • Omaha (CC - Mr. E. E. Bennett • Los Angeles Mr. R. F. Shields - Portland Mr. W. J. Hynes - Boise) Referenee is made to the matters involved in Senate Bills 3302 and 3303 introduced by Senator McCarran to enable the Las Vegas Valley Water District to acquire permanent rights of way to assist it in supplying water to the Las Vegas area. Boise, Idaho, advises as follows in his letter to me of May 17, 1954s "Senator Hugh Butler, who is Chairman of this Senate Committee (the Interior and Insular Affairs Committee, to which the bills have been referred), has an apartment with Mr. Lloyd W. Smith, Special Representative, Chicago, Burlington and Quincy RR Co., 416 Shorenam Building, Washington 5, D. C. I would like to suggest, Inasmuch as the Chairmen have a lot to do with whether a bill shall or shall not come out of their committee, that someone handle it with Senator Butler. For your personal information, Senator Butler thinks very highly of Mr. Smith, and it is my understanding that he can do more to getting favorable consideration from the Senator than anyone I know." I am passing this information on to you to be used Mr. W, J. Hynes, our Special Representative at as you see fit.
