Arizona Power Auth. v. Morton, 549 F.2d 1231 (9th Cir. 1977). “While CRSP § 16, 43 U.S.C. § 620o defines the term “States of the Upper Basin” as including Arizona, it is quite clear that Congress, like the committees, did not have Arizona in mind when it referred to the upper basin in the context of power marketing.”
