<br />1 <br />Pages 26-28, Proposed Budget - The Bureau of Reclamation is <br />prepared to fund specific habitat requirement studies. It <br />is our intention to enter into studies which would, in part, , <br />respond to the primary goal to restore and maintain self- <br />J-5 sustaining population of Colorado squawfish to nonendangered <br />status in their native ecosystem. Specifically, we refer to <br />Sections 1, 11, 111, 1111 on determining chemical character- <br />istics of water. We would hope to fund studies on limiting <br />salinity concentrations; however, funding, as presented in <br />the proposed budget, should only be considered FWS's recom- <br />mendation and no inference that the designated agencies are <br />in agreement or have approved or adopted the obligation. <br />By this letter, we are requesting that all funding shown for the Bureau <br />of Reclamation be deleted except for the habitat requirement studies. <br />We appreciate very much the opportunity to comment on the Recovery <br />Plan.
