<br />MR. WAND; <br /> <br />r think My. Gil'lillg could take care of our part. <br /> <br />MR. MATTHEW:; Therells noboy here f:rom New Me",ico, <br />or from Arizona. Fl'om CALIFORNIA, I might start the ball rolling on <br />that. We have several het'e who can do it. <br /> <br />.~ <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />CHAIRMAN; r think you would be interested in the series <br />of ma~~s put out with the report show'ng the improvements anQ the power <br />systems, a,nd the resot,rces and development. <br /> <br />We have before us the reports of all the States. You <br />understand that it's no small matter. It's quite extensive, and to give <br />you time to go over the report of your State, we are going to take a <br />recess from now (1 1 ~45) until two o"clock, except to come back for <br />hmcheoo at twelve, and while we"re out they'll prepare the luncheon. <br /> <br />MR. MATTHEW,; Each one of you now should have a copy <br />of each State's comments (the ,;. States), and also a brief summary of <br />the comments. If you haven't all of those. why I'll see that you have. <br />The last one I handed out to you was the summary. <br /> <br />CHAIRMAN~ Then it would be your suggestion that you go <br />over your own State's comments pretty carefully and read the summary <br />of all, and you will have a comprehensive view of it, and then when we <br />gather again, we will have a discussion. Is there anything to come before <br />us now befol'e we recess? <br /> <br />(MEE TING AJOURNS AT, 11 :45) <br /> <br />(MEETING RECONVENES AT ze,ool <br /> <br /> <br />CHAIRMAN: The meeting will come to order. <br /> <br />The meeting is now in the hands of Mr. Matthew for <br />discussion of the State reports. <br /> <br />MR. MATTHEW: Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen, before <br />proceeding with the discussion of the comments of the individual States, <br />it might be well, for the btmefit of all bf us, to just briefly review what <br />wa,s contained in the compl'ehel;1Sive report of the Bureau of Reclamation <br />on the Color<!ldo River. YO'll will recall that a preliminary draft of the <br />report came out Brst, I believe, in October 1944, followed by a second <br />draft. in November, 1945. This Cinal draft is dated March, 1946, and <br />diUe",!!' from the previous drafts considerably. I might say, in passing, <br />because of the fact the draft of November, 1945, is referred to in some <br />of the comments by certain States, that in the November, 1945 draft. <br />there was a recommendation for an initial authorization of some, 30 <br />projects. That part of that draft report was omitted from the final <br /> <br />-13- <br /> <br /> <br />, c ,., c"'~, <br />
