By navigation, respondentmeans no more than operation of boats and improvement of thewaterway itself. In truth, the authority of the United Statesis the regulation of commerce on its waters. Navigability, inthe sense just stated, is but a part of this whole. Floodprotection, watershed development, recovery of the cost ofimprovements through utilization of power are likewise partsof commerce control.''[Page H1524]]]> hsii00 Natural Resources Committee House Standing hsii10 Federal Lands Subcommittee Hearings by 2011-06-14T15:38:57Z Referred to 2011-03-03T21:28:57Z Referred to 2011-03-02T15:00:51Z 2011-06-14 hsii10 Federal Lands Subcommittee 1 House committee actions Subcommittee Hearings Held.
