<br />Jackson: <br /> <br />It <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />want to make the point as a much larger context and let me say, kind of, <br />quickly to qualify the question I'm going to have next, I'm strongly in favor <br />of moving ahead on this, and 1 am in favor of sitting down and looking to <br />see if we can work an enforceability agreement, and MOD on this water <br />right. 1 assume it will need, at some point, to apply to other water rights. <br />1 am also very much interested in seeing us sit down and work on the <br />sufficient progress issue or more specifically to sit down and work on a <br />comprehensive recovery program issue that will obviate the need to keep <br />talking about sufficient progress and maybe we can have some specific <br />ideas as opposed to a generality called sufficient progress. I--so now my <br />comment is that 1 would very much favor our continuing to negotiate <br />toward an enforceability agreement but I'm not sure that we would be <br />ready to enter into an enforceability agreement outside the context of a <br />more broad reaching agreement that deals with the sufficient progress <br />question or hopefully obviates the sufficient progress question so 1 think <br />we've got to work on it and make as much progress as we can but 1 don't <br />think we're saying today that we're making a decision that we would enter <br />into in a enforceability agreement. Moreover, if we were 1 would have to <br />ask the legal question, what is the consideration for that agreement, 1 mean <br />when there is a donation of a water right then enforceability is usually <br />given in consideration for the donation but if we make an appropriation <br />and it's not connected to a broader program in some way then I wonder if <br />there is a consideration problem. So again I want to put the emphasis on <br />the first part of my remarks, I strongly support going forward on this and <br />see if we can't find a breakthrough on this whole business about sufficient <br />progress and that will entail enforceability agreement but I don't want--this <br />is not a car blanch on enforceability agreement is the way I see the action <br />today. <br /> <br />Other Board comment.
