1 <br />Thank you very sincerely on behalf of -- <br />2 <br />MR. SCHROEDER: Thank you very much for listening <br />3 <br />I'm going to Boulder. Good --bye. <br />4 <br />MR. COOLEY: -° from all of us. <br />5 <br />The treatment of the river by the Corps of <br />6 <br />Engineers is important to the Compact and really to each of <br />7 <br />the interests represented here, and in the past, there's <br />8 <br />been wide belief that the selection of 5,000 feet at Avondale <br />9 <br />was just arbitrary and procrustean, if-you will# Procrustes <br />10 <br />is the guy who had the iron bed. If the feet were too long, <br />11 <br />he trimmed you down, and if you were too short, he stretched <br />12 <br />you to fit the bed. <br />13 <br />In any event, I recall that there was unanimous <br />14 <br />consent that we ask the Corps of Engineers to look at this and <br />15 <br />I don't want to go to the minutes to find out at what time this <br />16 <br />was done but I'm sure your recollection will be similar to <br />17 <br />mine and I am open to suggestion as to what, if anything, we <br />18 <br />should do. <br />19 <br />I, with my customary hyperbole, exaggerated the <br />20 <br />number of years it was going to take the Corps of Engineers to <br />21 <br />look at this subject, but I can assure you that it is not high <br />22 <br />on their priority list, although they have no objection to <br />23 <br />looking at it. <br />24 <br />MR. GIBSON: Check the Albuquerque office. <br />25 <br />MR. COOLEY: Yes, sir. <br />
