<br />I <br /> <br />MR. VANDEI-IOER: <br /> <br />MR. SLlZESKI: <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />- 4::l1.9 <br /> <br />angels and put a rod of marble acrM'" hi", <br />shoulders and in his right hand a staff.'" <br /> <br />General Graham then concluded: <br /> <br />'unfortunately I do not have a list of <br />these angels so I cannot guarantee results <br />from this method. Instead of looking up the <br />names of the proper angels I suggest you look <br />up the name of the nearest Corps of Engineers <br />District Engineer. He doesn't have a halo; <br />it's not part of his uniform. And he doesn't <br />know much magic but he does have at his dis- <br />posal a great deal of information about the <br />care and handling of floods.' <br /> <br />As I said, I don't want to be facetious <br />about this. This is deadly serious business <br />but I think there is a moral here that delays <br />are necessary in order to devise works with <br />competent engineering standards." <br /> <br />"I'm a little like Frank is. On Pawnee <br />Creek I suppose we have one persQn per mile <br />if we're lucky out there. Larry, is there any <br />other way a community or an area can go on <br />this? As far as feasibility-wise, I don't <br />think you can ever help us. ~2ybe you can <br />but I don't think so." <br /> <br />"Of course sterling is endangered by <br />Pawnee Creek. This has been 'our prime con- <br />cern for sometime. Now insofar as protection <br />for Sterling, it would be a relQtively simple <br />matter to throw a dike across this swale that <br />leads into sterling there and divert it into <br />the Platte. Apparently orriginally nature <br />had intended it that way and there have <br />probably been some works of man that have <br />modified this somewhat. Of course, this would <br />be the simplest solution. The ideal solution <br />would be to put major flood control reservoirs <br />upstream and protect the valley. <br /> <br />We are required, and I hestitate to en- <br />large on this, I don't want to take all your <br />
