<br />The courtesy and assistance of all personnel in that Department <br />has been appreciated. <br /> <br />o U.S. Army Corps of Engineers which conducted separate and con- <br />current studies of interstate water transfers under provisions <br />of the legislation authorizing this Study. <br /> <br />o U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) which is carrying out a concurrent <br />study of the Ogallala Aquifer. The USGS has generously made the <br />results of its work available to the General Contractor. Maps <br />prepared through the USGS project are included as a part of this <br />report. <br /> <br />o U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has prepared and made availahle <br />to the General Contractor team an envi ronmental impacts assessment <br />report. This report has been used extensively and has been very <br />helpful in Study activities. <br /> <br />o U.S. Department of Agriculture made available use of its National- <br />Inter-Regional Agricultural Projections (NIRAP) model to project <br />various indications used in the Study. Advice and support by <br />the Department's personnel was appreciated. <br /> <br />The General Contractor has had the opportunity to consult with the mem- <br />bers of its Consulting Panel throughout the Study. The interest and special <br />contributions of these talented people has been of great benefit to the Study <br />and to the development of this report. <br /> <br />Finally, with gratitude, we want to recognize individually two very key <br />participants in the Study who tragically did not live to see its completion: <br /> <br />o Dr. Jean McFarland, Chief, Economics Research Division, Depart- <br />ment of Commerce. Dr. McFarland participated as the EDA member <br />in the High Plains Study Council. She added wisdom, knowledge <br />and good judgment to the Study effort. <br /> <br />vi <br />
