The following excerpt is from Libby Rod and Gun Club v. Poteat, 594 F.2d 742 (9th Cir. 1979):
Similarly, neither United States v. Arizona, 295 U.S. 174, 55 S.Ct. 666, 79 L.Ed. 1371 (1935), nor Wisconsin v. Duluth, 96 U.S. 379, 24 L.Ed. 668 (1877), is factually analogous to this case. Neither decision holds explicitly that appropriations constitute congressional authorization for dam construction.
