<br />-, . <br /> <br />( <br />. <br /> <br />ui <br /> <br />~ <br />. <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />. , <br /> <br />I would like to leave you with this thcught relayed to me by a fcrmer <br />Secretary of the Interior. It can be said that litigation is like the <br />ancient manly art of dueling. In a duel, the parties, each with a <br />loaded pistol, stand back to back, take a predetermined number of <br />paces, turn and fire. As in dueling, neither of the parties to litiga- <br />tion likes the process; and to be sure, cne of the parties won't like <br />the outcome. If you, or your neighbor are ccnsidering litigation over <br />Indian reserved water rights, you may wish to consider whether you are <br />willing to be the loser or whether you might be willing to give up a <br />part of your rights to assure that your needs have been met. <br /> <br />We have looked at three questions today: Why negotiate? It can be a <br />wi n-\~i n expe ri ence. What to expect? Gocd times and ha rd times. Statu s <br />of negotiations? Would you like to be next? <br /> <br />. <br />I hope I have provi ded you wi th some useful ins i ghts. I will be happy <br />to answer any questions that you might have. <br /> <br />0207 <br /> <br />6 <br />
