Seasonal diversity between Upper Basin loads <br />helped influence the CWCB to make the permanent allocation to <br />Arizona./60 The UCRC forwarded the recommended power marketing <br />criteria to Secretary of Interior Fred Seaton for his approval; <br />the organizations participating in the Denver meeting believed he <br />would accept their proposal./61 <br /> <br />Colorado River Basin Consumers' Power, Inc., at their March <br />18, 1960 meeting, ratified the power marketing resolution <br />presented to Secretary Seaton by the UCRC./62 As CRBCP Secretary <br />Howard Scott wrote Seaton: <br /> <br />In earlier resolutions, the preference users <br />have favored the marketing of Project power <br />to preference users in Arizona subject to <br />withdrawal to preference users in the Upper <br />Division. We believe that the withdrawal <br />formula contained in the Upper Colorado <br />River Commission statement will do much to <br />smooth out marketing procedures and also <br />facilitate arrangements on diversity <br />exchange of power and generating <br />capability./63 <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />The new withdrawal formula co~tained the provision for a <br />permanent minimum power supply for the secondary market area./64 <br /> <br />The Bureau of Reclamation recommended to Secretary Seaton <br />the power marketing criteria suggested by the UCRC and CRBCP. <br /> <br />.After considering all of the many factors <br />involved, it is the view of the Bureau that <br />the power generation of the Colorado River <br />Storage Project should be marketed initially <br />to serve ~reference customer loads in both ' <br />the Northern (Upper) and Southern (Lower) <br />Divisions, with specific and definite <br />understandlng that as loads of the Northern <br />Division develop, power would be withdrawn <br />to serve these loads leaving ultimately a <br />defined minimum in the Southern Division..'65 <br /> <br />~hi~ suggested power market criteria, ~hic~ cal~e~! for 3 <br />~ermane~~ secondar~ market allocat1on of 7 cercent cf :2S? <br />~ener3t1on in w1nter and 20 percent 1n summer, ~as aopro~ed bv <br />~ss~~:a~~ Sec~etar~ of I~terlor Elmer F.
