<br />Mr. Kent Larsen, Acting Director of the Office of Water <br />Policy, Department of Interior, talked informally with the <br />Executive Subcommittee at some length. He discussed activities of <br />his agency, pending legislation, and goals and policies oT the <br />present Administration. <br />In the morning of September 14, the Subcommittee had arranged <br />a tour of the National Weather Service Colorado Basin River <br />Forecast Center. Dr. Gerald Williams made a short presentation on <br />the history and organization of the Center and the mu1tiagency <br />Colorado' River Forecasting Service. Following this, Don Laurine <br />demonstrated the data collection monitoring equipment. <br />Considerable discussion took place concerning Colorado River <br />runoff forecasting, and it was apparent that there was a great deal <br />of interest in this subject. Several members felt quite strongly <br />that PSIAC should become involved in this activity, and after much <br />deliberation, the Subcommittee passed a motion: <br />"To instruct the Water and Vegetation Management Technical <br />Subcommittee to advise the Executive Subcommittee at the <br />December meeting on the desirability of establishing' an ad hoc <br />committee on Colorado River forecasting." <br />Inherent in this motion was a desire to ascertain whether <br />PSIAC could be of assistance in any way to the Colorado River <br />Forecasting Service in the accomplishment of their charge. <br />The final action of the Subcommittee was to elect the Corps of <br />Engineers as Chair agency for the FY 1984 year. <br /> <br />Technical Subcommittee Reports <br />Water and Vegetation Management Subcommittee: Bob Erwin, Chairman, <br />reported on the meeting held Wednesday morning, September 14.
