<br />I.might.also.say that we had an extremely difficult time in the last. <br />three weeks getting from the Department of Interior anyiinformation on <br />which they based its decisions.. We did make requests to the Department <br />of Interior to clarify how it reached the conclusions that they came to. <br />In other-words, many of the projects apparently: fall into the category <br />of environmentally unacceptable. We have repeatedly asked.what this <br />means. How did they come to that conclusion? What facts did they'base <br />their determination on? . What. criteria were-they following? The Depart- <br />ment of Interior to this very date has not given us any information to <br />indicate-how they reached its decision.'

It is my under- <br />standing that representatives of the Colorado Contractors Association <br />will be here. tomorrow to try to make - a statement in :-favor of the proj- <br />ects. I think it is quite important what Mr. Sherman has said that I <br />perhaps we will have some time tomorrow evening in addition to just- <br />putting something in the record, _that is that. people who want to express <br />themselves on these projects can do so. <br /> <br />I want to add a bit to some of the confusion. I am reading from an <br />article from The Rocky Mountain News which states that the Narrows Dam <br />and Dallas Creek projects are also on the President's hit list. We are <br />not really sure what is happening. The article states that "Secretary <br />Andrus called Senator Hart and informed him that the President was about <br /> <br />-16- <br /> <br />r <br />
