<br />Page 3 <br /> <br />Closely related to this is the Tulsa District Land Utilization Plan <br />for that portion of the waterway in Oklahoma. We have been told that <br />a public meeting on this will be held later this year. Everyone <br />interested in corridor access for industrial development should plan <br />to attend this meeting. <br /> <br />* * * * * * * * * * <br /> <br />How much good news we will report in the future will depend more than <br />ever on what you and 1 do as "Local Interests," There is little doubt <br />that our water programs are being subjected to more and greater attacks <br />from a variety of sources. We must not falter in our support of a <br />progressive water resource program for our basin and the nation. <br /> <br />* * * * * * * * * * <br /> <br />After the business session, a luncheon was held where Mr. E. L. IIBudll Stewart, <br />Chairman of the Arkansas River Development Corporation Task Force spoke on the <br />Task Force activities and plans. <br /> <br />ARDC TASK FORCE <br /> <br />This group was put together this summer to work toward drafting a Federal-Interstate <br />Compact to guide development in the Arkansas River area, particularly along the <br />waterway. It is composed of three Federal members and three members each from <br />Arkansas and Oklahoma. Chairman Stewart said at the October 3 luncheon they are <br />planning to complete draft legislation by the end of 1973 which would, when enacted, <br />set up a strong Federal Interstate organization. He said, this organization would <br />combine the best features of a Title II River Basin Commission and a Compact Com- <br />mission of the Delaware River Basin Commission type. <br /> <br />However, the compact can only have such powers as the member states deem appropriate. <br />The two states, through their representatives on the Task Force, and local interests <br />will undoubtedly have the major influence on the final solution reco~ended. <br /> <br />POST OPERATORS ASSOCIATION FORMED <br /> <br />This summer, the Arkansas-Oklahoma Port Operators Association was formed to increase <br />the commercial and beneficial use of all navigable streams in Arkansas and Oklahoma. <br /> <br />The objectives of this Association are to promote and encourage cooperation <br />between port operators, to stimulate interest on the part of the public in general <br />and particularly the members of the Arkansas-Oklahoma Port Operators Association <br />in the orderly development and comnercia1 use of the navigation system, to further <br />educate the public on navigation matters, to create and promote helpful ideas in <br />connection with all development, and to gather and disseminate the information <br />which may be useful by the mam~ers of the organization. <br /> <br />The Association, which is non-profit, has its principal offices in Tulsa. For <br />additional information, write to , Secretary, Arkansas-Oklahoma Port Operators <br />Association, 1420 West 35th Streat, Tulsa, Oklahoma, 74107, <br /> <br />BIRD CREEK BASIN DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATION <br /> <br />Our best wishes go to this newly formed organization which is being put together <br />by civic minded citizens in the Bird Creek Basin. Several organizational meetings <br />have been held by this group who plan to pro~ote water resource development, Repre- <br />sentatives fro~ Avant, Barnsdall, Shidler, Skiatook and Pawhuska who attended the <br />first meetings are hopeful that all interested citizens and communities in the <br />Bird Creek Basin will support the new organization. <br />
