<br />The fourth condition is being met through a series of planning meet- <br />ings within the Basin, and by cooperative research studies. Nine <br />meetings have been held with state and local representatives to <br />discuss planning and develop cooperation for the Colorado River <br />Basin program: <br /> <br />November 20, 1975 <br />August 4, 1976 <br />February 23, 1977 <br />April 20. 1978 <br />November 29, 1978 <br />August 30. 1979 <br />Denver 6-7 .1979 <br />December 18, 1979 <br /> <br />Denver, Colorado <br />Denver, Colorado <br />Las Vegas, Nevada <br />Salt Lake City, Utah <br />Las Vegas, Nevada <br />Durango.

The Colorado River Basin Project Act. <br /> <br />II. Although it is widely believed that the Federal Government <br />should provide most of the program funding. state and local groups <br />may provide supporting funds and cooperating services according to <br />their capabilities. Cost sharing would improve local interest and <br />support, encourage public participation and involvement, and be in <br />concert with the Administration's water resource development <br />policies. <br /> <br />11-6 <br />
