Befo!'" we leave that, I wonder if Col. Moore would Uke to <br />make some remarks in regard to any investigations that the <Corps of <br />Engineers are contemplating on the Upper Colorado? <br /> <br />COL. MOORE: I beg to be excused as I am just a <br />newcomer. and I am just here getting educated. so I am not in any position <br />to discuss that right now. I haven't much to say on it. We will investigate <br />all flood control possibUities above Lee Ferry, as requested by Congress, <br />and money has been short and due to our personnel cut, we had to discontinue <br />the investigation. We did make a preliminary investigation. That pa!:'t of <br />the district was trans{e:~red to the Satremento District during the wa'r, <br />We transferred our representatives, and now they have come back, but that <br />study we are making will not have much to do with your problems elJ:cept <br />that when it comes time to allocate the flood control value of the reservoir. <br />why we will be in the picture again. We have two things to deal with; one <br />is the physical aspects of a dam proposed with regard to its ability to reduce <br />floodS" and the ot:her is the operation of dams for flood control. In carrying <br />oull- ]:'.if"t mission, we work very closely with the Bureau and Power Companie,s, <br />and aU users of water in working out our plan of flood control operation. <br /> <br />MR. BEBOUT: The Corps of Engineers has petitioned the <br />Secretary of War to spedfy the regulations that shall be operative for flood <br />control, and I assure you that we need have no alarm about it affecting <br />your problems" In our analysis. if too much water is allocated to irrigation <br />and pOwer. it just means the benefits are cut down. Fortunately for you, <br />most of the projects are located where the flood control benefits are rather <br />small. We made a very hurried study of all the projects that have been <br />listed ....not c,M analyzing $tud}'~-just going through the area-- <br />the benefits of flood control would be rath(~r small. There are benefits <br />for some flood pu:rpQses at two of the dams. In other words, near Durango, <br />they have quite high flood control benefits. <br /> <br />I don't think there's anything further unless therelssome <br />question somebody might wish to ask. ' <br /> <br />MR.MAT'fHEW~ Thank you; MroBebout. <br /> <br />Are there any questions somebody might want to ask Mr. <br />Bebout? If not, shall we proceed to the Lower Basin, and may we call <br />on our good friend, TOM SMITH, for a repcrt on Nevada? <br /> <br />-38- <br /> <br />
