to perform the accounting approved by various resolutions of the Administration.
Although the updated John Martin Accounting System (JMAS) has been used to replicate
the results produced by the original system when operating on the same historical data
input set, final implementation of JMAS has been delayed. The reason for this being due
to the possibility of programming changes that might have become necessary in order to
conform to the resolution of concerns raised by the Assistant Operations Secretary. Since
the prospects for resolving these matters do not appear to be imminent, it seems that there
is little to be gained by further delay. Therefore, beginning in Compact year 2001 the
primary means of data capture, processing, and reporting will be by means of JMAS,
however, data will also be capture, processed and reported using the old system as a
means of final verification of the new system.

In addition to the numerous matters remaining to be dealt with following the most
recent Committee meeting, there is a need for determinations to be made concerning
releases of Kansas' Section II account water that occurred during Compact year 2000 in
order to accomplish the purpose of Section II E (4) of the 1980 Operating Plan regarding
replenishment for any transit losses that may have occurred. This determination needs to
be made before March 15,2001.

Respectfully submitted,
