C. EDUCATION-INFORMATION
1. General Cooperation

The Upper Colorado River Commission has directed its Education and
Information program toward promoting interstate cooperation, harmony, and
united efforts; developing an understanding in other sections of the United
States of the problems of the Upper Colorado River Basin; and the creation
of a favorable attitude on the part of Congress with respect to the develop-
ment of the industrial and agricultural resources of the Upper Colorado River
Basin.

The Commission has continued to cooperate with members of the
Congressional delegations from the Upper Colorado River Basin States and
with officials of the Department of the Interior and the Bureau of Reclamation
in seeking appropriations of funds by the Congress for the construction of the
Storage Units and participating projects authorized for construction, as well
as funds for the investigations of additional participating projects that are
given priority in planning in the Colorado River Storage Project Act. As part
of this cooperation, the Commission's Executive Director has been in
Washington, D. C. at intermittent periods, acting as liaison between the
Congress and the States and various departments of government, supplying
information, arranging and taking part in Congressional hearings, and provid-
ing other assistance requested.

2. Library

Efforts are being continued to accumulate all types of engineering, legal,
economics, and semi-technical documents related to the Colorado River Basin
to comprise a well-equipped and efficiently-operating permanent library. As
materials are collected for inclusion in the library, they are cataloged in the
Commission's computer system. Also, many thousands of pages of
documents have been placed on microfiche. Information in the Commission's
library will be available to any of its member States on short notice should a
need arise. Studies are being made, supplemented, or collected to address
the many problems associated with the development, utilization, and
conservation of water and hydroelectric resources of the Colorado River
Basin.
