190.  Whenever the State of California is specifically invited by
federal law to participate in any interstate commission to plan for
the regional development of water and related resources, the Governor
shall appoint each California member of such commission.  The
appointment of each such member shall be subject to confirmation by
the Senate, and the member appointed shall serve at the pleasure of
the Governor.
   The provisions of this section shall also apply to the Western
States Water Council established by the Western Governors' Conference
at its meeting in Portland, Oregon, in June 1965.
   Each member appointed by the Governor to the Western States Water
Council shall receive the actual and necessary expenses incurred by
him in the performance of his duties as a member, including travel
expenses. Additionally, each such member, except persons who are
officers or employees of the state, shall receive a compensation of
twenty-five dollars ($25) for each day such member is engaged in the
performance of his duties as a member.  Such expenses and
compensation shall be paid from the budget of the Department of Water
Resources.
   The provisions of this section do not in any manner affect the
provisions of Section 123 which provide for state administration of
interstate compacts relative to the distribution and use of the
waters of any interstate streams or bodies of water.
