Ullman warns
Feds to back
farmer contracts
Oregon Congressman Al
Ullman today warned that the
federal government must be
made to stand behind con
tracts and commitments it has
made over the years to
farmers and others in the
West who are users of water
from federal reclamation pro
jects. 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.
