61 <br />111 The next matter -- <br />211 MR. HOTILAND: Mr. Cooley® <br />311 MR. COOLLY: No, wait a minute. <br />4 Bill, go ahead. <br />5 MR. HOWLAND: I wasn't going to say anything <br />6 more, but I cannot resist because I think the explanation is <br />7 <br />here as to why <br />the Administration <br />needs to take <br />action and, <br />g <br />fortunately, I <br />don't have to be as <br />diplomatic as <br />Mr. Jesse at <br />9 iI the moment. <br />10 The fact is that there are over 60000 second - <br />11 feet of rights in Colorado below Pueblo Reservoir, and the <br />12 channel capacity, if retained at 5,000 second -feet, will not <br />13 even satisfy the rights in Colorado; therefore, John Martin is <br />14 being deprived of flood water. <br />15 MR. COOLEY: Bill, I think implicit in all of <br />16 this is that water that's released from the flood pool has a <br />17 special earmark or quality to it and the earmark or quality <br />lg that water has, it appears to me, and I don't think it can be <br />19 successfully disputed, is water which would be flood and, <br />20 therefore, it would pass down the river and be distributed as <br />21 if it had not been captured in Pueblo -- and Bob is still <br />22 nodding his head as I reach this part of'my sentence -- and, <br />23 therefore, the 61000 feet of decree in the raver, notwithstandi <br />24 the flood portion of that former flood water, would reach John <br />25 Martin. <br />
