STAPLETON: I would also like to emphasize that we have made some <br />accommodations over the years, and I get the feeling from the environ- <br />mentalist friends that we are as rigid as they are..but think they are <br />not. I think we ought to have the people that review these continually <br />be aware that we have tried to be more reasonable about those considera- <br />tions. <br /> <br />MR.

SPARKS: I might state on that point that the Colorado General <br />Assembly enacted a very strong resolution to support these projects. <br />It will be introduced by the Governor tomorrow morning in the hearings. <br />These resolutions support. these projects very strongly.

Carried unanimously. <br /> <br />All right. Bill Nelson of the Grand Junction Sentinel has sort of been <br />on vacation the last few days. but he is here and I paid 35 cents to <br />buy his Sunday edition and read it. I was amazed of the breadth of the <br />controyersy even on their own pages. He is a former member of the Board. <br />and we are glad to be in your territory again. <br /> <br />CHAIRMAN STAPLETON: <br />who is now .a member <br />here. <br /> <br />I see Mr.. Berthelson. another member of the Board. <br />,of the Upper Colorado River Commission. is also <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />MR. NELSON: Thank you. <br /> <br />Well. that is the agenda item. What we all came over for is to hear <br />the hearings tomorrow and Tuesday. I would like now to have some <br /> <br />-10- <br />
