MR. SHIVERS:

some material from the Water Congress that
you would like to present to the Board."

"Gentl~men, I know you are all aware of
the fact that the Special Master in the
Arizona vs. California case has come out with
a draft report. As far as we know, as of now,
there is not more than one or two of them
available here. We know that there are some
things in that that may be very good for us
and there may be some things in there that
are not so good. Consequently, yesterday at
its usual meeting immediately prior to the
meeting of this Board, our Executive Commit-
tee by a motion made the following recommenda-
tion to this bOdy:

I

'It is recommended that the Colorado
Water Conservation Board request the Attorney
General of the State of Colorado to bring
about a review and study of the Special
Master's Draft Report in the Arizona vs.
California case to determine the affect
thereof on the State of Colorado, and to
determine whether or not an appearance by
the State of Colorado as amicus curiae may
be indicated.'

We feel that there could be a situation
where there may be points that should be
opposed by the state and there may be points
that should be supported by the state. The
motion was pPrased for the Attorney General
with the natural assumption that the attorney
for this Board would be participating in the
situation but that the Attorney General was
the one who must ultimately make the decision
as to the position of the State of Colorado.

Thank you very much."

"Mr. Miller."

"~tt. Chairman, it is my recollection
there is an old resolution on the minutes of
the Board .of some years ago that provides
almost exactly the same thing. Isn't that
true I Ray?"
