Bill to grant right-of-way to the Las Vegas Valley Water District to lands between Lake Mead and Henderson, and to Basic Management Inc. to allow for the conveyance and distribution of water.

The Department of the Interior was demanding three million gallons of water a day in return for approval to operate a pipeline from Lake Mead to Basic Management Inc.

Senator McCarran states he will introduce two right-of-way bills and warns the language of the bills may be considered too broad by the Senate committee.

Letter addresses pending federal legislation's possible influence on the water district's selling of bonds.

Letter references two bills, Senator McCarran's correspondence about the bills, and the bills with regard to bids for bonds.

Copied onto Las Vegas Valley Water District stationery with a date stamp from the law department of the Union Pacific Railroad Company, an article from the Las Vegas Sun newspaper reports that the water district's plan to lay a pipeline from Henderson to Las Vegas may be endangered because of lack of a right-of-way.

Bennett was requesting the name of the chairman of the Senate Interior and Insular Affairs Committee as well as members so see if there were any that he could influence for a favorable passage of the water district right-of-way bills.
