<br />2.2!! <br /> <br />j <br /> <br />AI UNI'rED STATES <br />ARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR <br />BUREAU OF RECtJIMA'rION <br />. Washingtoll 25, D. C. <br /> <br />fe <br /> <br /> <br />,Ii <br /> <br />_>'..,.J. <br />1 <br /> <br />November 13, 1953 <br /> <br />The Secretary <br /> <br />of'the Interior <br /> <br />Sir: <br /> <br />At your request and pursuant to the request of the Director <br />of the Bureau of the Budget contained in his letter to you of January 27, <br />1953, the report of the previous administration on the Colorado River <br />storage Project and purticipating Projects has been reviewed. The <br />attached Supplemental Report on the Prpject dated October 1953, has <br />been prepared to supersede the previous reports of the Commissioner of <br />Reclamation and Secretary of the Interior and to bring up to date the <br />December 15, 1950 report. <br /> <br />The new rePort is based on the December 15, 1950 report of <br />Reclamation's Regional Director and it includes the comments of the <br />affected States and agencies on that previous 'report. <br /> <br />I find that the elements recommended for initial authoriza- <br />tion in the attached report have economic and engineering feasibility <br />and that they will soon be needed to meet the requirements of the Com- <br />pacts and the International commitments with respect to the waters of <br />the Colorado River and to provide for economic stability and development <br />of the Upper Colorado River Basin. I, therefore, submit this report, <br />incorporating with modificatiOnS the report of the Regional Director <br />of the Bureau of Reclamation and superseding all other previous reports, <br />as my report on the Upper Colorado River Storage Project and Participa- <br />ting projectS. <br /> <br />I recommend that you approve and adopt the report and that <br />you submit it to the President for advice concerning its relationsbip <br />to hie program. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />/s/ W. A. Dexheimer <br /> <br />Commissioner <br /> <br />Dec. 10, 1953 <br />Approved and adopted <br /> <br />/s/ Douglas McKay <br /> <br />secretary of the Interior <br /> <br />Attachment <br />
