<br />In conclusion, we feel that we are
<br />selling out too cheap to the federal
<br />government All we would be gain-
<br />ing is additions to two existing
<br />reservoirs and we feel that porheps
<br />Northwest Colorado is be~ written
<br />off as the water supplier to meet the
<br />interstate compact. Don't do this to
<br />us! ! Leave us the opportunity in the
<br />Yampa drainage to develop our
<br />resources for future use_
<br />Thank you,
