Ullman issued his warning in testimony before the House Interior Sub-committee on Water and Power Resources. The Subcommittee is working on legislation that would update reclamation laws in the wake of recent court decisions and administrative interpretations that extend federal restrictions on farm development and use even after a farmer has repaid the government for his share of the construction cost of a project. Ullman said that in Oregon, the federal government en tered into contracts with farmers and irrigation dis tricts which specifically pro vide, that restrictions on the size of a farm "shall cease to operate when the construction charge obligation allocated to such land has been paid in full to the United States." "In the Klamath Project alone there are over 1T0 separate contracts with irri gation districts and indivi dual entities which either contain, or have been repre sented to be subject to "pay out' privisions," Ullman ex plained. "It must be remembered that these (farmers) agreed to the restrictions and conditions of the reclamation contracts largely because of govern ment assurances that tiie re strictions would terminate upon repayment of allocated constructions costs. "In fact, in many cases, the reclamation contract was pro posed and entered into pri marily to facilitate the gov ernment's own interest... "The issue of honoring prior commitments is not merely a matter of policy to be left for future debate. The credibility of our government is al stake. The only issue is whether or not the United States does indeed intend to keep its word to the federal water users in the western United Slates." Ullman noted he has intro duced legislation which would ratify all contracts and writ ten representations concern ing the effect of payout on acreage limitations. He said similar language should be included in any new bill that is drafted. Communications workshop set for Aug. 16 Dr. Robert L.
