Series 2 Newspaper Clippings 1960-1966

Arrangement
Arranged chronologically by date of article.
Scope and Content Note
These are clippings received by the Board from a press clipping service. They have been selected, based on significance, from
a much larger group of clippings (9 cubic feet) and copied to bond paper. The clippings reflect the broad nature of the Board’s
work relating to the state’s interest in access to and use of the Colorado River. A large portion of the clippings relate
to California’s suit with Arizona over water rights to the lower Colorado River.
