<br />We have achieved much on the Colorado. We have seen mighty <br />projects develop and start paying off rich pul)lic dividends in our life- <br />time. The re is much to which we can point ..yith pride and be grateful <br />for. But there is so much more to do, so m;>.ny more doors to oppor- <br />tunity for us to open for those who come after us, if we but continue <br />the development of this river resource in this, its last and most diffi- <br />cult, and expensive phase. <br /> <br />This is the challenge of the future as we stand at or near, this <br />crossroads, this incipient plateau of development. Will we move for- <br />ward and complete the job, or will we drift ir the frustration of arrest- <br />ed development? This is the question for th~ future--looking ahead to <br />2060. <br /> <br />It is my sincere hope and expectation: that we continue to push <br />forward together. We must consider the views and intere,sts of each <br />other and be prepared to accept compromises and modifications. We <br />must view every problem, reach every decision, in the light of maximum <br />development and benefit. Only in this mannEjr can we move from this <br />crossroads of decision into the next phase of: development and use of one <br />of the world's great river basi';ls. <br /> <br />x X, X <br /> <br />i <br />I <br />i <br />t <br />I <br />! <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />- 28 - <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />, <br />~J <br />
