A Senate interior subcommittee approved a bill today to require federal agencies to follow state laws in acquiring rights to use water in the 17 western states. . The bill, by Sen. Frank A. Barrett (R-Wyo.), originally was introduced as a result of a Su preme Court decision in a case involving Pelton dam in Oregon. The court held that since the dam was on reserved federal land, state laws did not have to be complied with. Sponsors of the bill have held that the decision could mean that the federal government has absolute control over water on some 247,000 square miles of national forest reservations. . During hearings on the meas ure, there were complaints that the Navy had refused to meet state requirements, including payment of a fee of $1 per well, in drilling six wells at the Haw thorne Ammunition Depot , in Nevada.

The users are required to show that the water is being put to beneficial use before a permanent right is granted. , The bill was amended at the request of Sens. Carl Hayden CD Ariz.) and Barry Goldwater (R Ariz.) to protect water rights covered by contract between users and the Interior Depart ment where formal filings had not been made. Departments concerned will be asked to submit comments on the bill for consideration of the full committee on June 12.
