Not <br />affiliated with any political organization or political party, as an <br />Association we seek to avoid the morass of selfish influence designed to <br />Secure unfair advantage for any segment of any area within the Basin" <br /> <br />f <br /> <br />As unofficial ambassadors of our various states, we meet for a <br />friendly and open discussion of our individual problems, in order that as <br />good neighbors we can arrive at an impartial judgment of the action to be <br />taken for the good of the entire area" <br /> <br />This is a challenge to our ingenuity, our zeal and our imaginations. <br />Let us chart our courSe so that future meetings of this organization can in <br />all honesty say "Well done.
