The Arkansas-White-Red Basins Inter-Agency Committee was created in 1950 at the request of the President of the United States to conduct water and resource development studies under the auspices of the federal Flood Control Act of 1950. The chief engineer of the Railroad Commission was a committee member. These are reports, drafts, collection data, and correspondence on water and other resources in the Arkansas, White, and Red River Basins, dating 1954-1956, bulk 1955. The river basins cover areas in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, New Mexico, and Texas. The reports in this series were produced by the Arkansas-White-Red Basins Inter-Agency Committee. The bulk of the materials consist of the published reports. A small amount of correspondence accompanies the reports, consisting of memoranda to work group members from John J. Ledbetter, who served as Governor Allan Shivers' representative on the Arkansas-White-Red Basins Inter-Agency Committee. Topics covered in the reports include mosquito control, oil and gas by-products, and water resources.
