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.

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. Attached is a typed note in reference to the letter. Letter id date stamped, April 19, 1954 by the law department of the Union Pacific Railroad Company.
