Excerpt from Proposed Amendments to the Federal Water-Power Act: Hearing Efore the Select Committee on Water Power of the House of Representatives, Sixty-Sixth Congress, Third Session, on H. R. 14469, H. R. 14760, and H. R. 15126, January 6, 1921 The committee met at 10 o´clock a.m., Hon. John J. Esch (chairman) presiding. The Chairman. The committee will come to order. The Select Committee on Water Power has been called this morning to consider H. R. 14469, introduced by myself, exempting from the provisions of the water-power act national parks and monuments; H. R. 14760, introduced by Congressman Rogers, of Massachusetts, having a like purpose, confining the matter, however, to water power in national ks; and H. R. 15126, introduced by myself, relating more particularly to the personnel and the establishment of an additional personnel for the Federal Power Commission. We have present with us this morning the three Secretaries constituting the Federal Power Commission. In what order do the Secretaries desire to be heard? Secretary Baker. We would like to have you hear Mr. Payne first. The Chairman. We will be very glad to hear Mr. Payne. Statement Of Hon, John Barton Payne, Secretary Of The Interior. Secretary Payne. Mr. Chairman, the general subject of water power will be dealt with by the chairman of the commission, Secretary Baker. The particular matter that I thought you wanted to hear from me about was House bill 14469, introduced by the chairman of this committee. When the water-power bill was passed and went to the President for signature it was sent to the different departments affected; I called the attention of the President to the fact that it placed the national parks and monuments at the disposition of the Water Power Commission, and that my view was that that should not be; that jurisdiction over the parks and monuments should be retained by the Congress, and I wrote the President on the, 4th of June to that effect. There was a great deal of desire on the part of the country for the signing of that bill, and I was called upon by Senator Jones, chairman of the Committee on Commerce of the Senate, and Senator Walsh. Then I conferred with Senator Underwood and with a few other gentlemen. The House had adjourned, but I reached Congressman Mondell. The result was that Senator Jones wrote a letter, proposing that the bill be amended to meet the objection, which I have here. Do you want me to read it?
