MR. MOSES: "The last I recall came up when the Haw- thorne Case was being considered and I think at that time the Board asked the State Engi- neer to request the advice of the Attorney General as to whether or not Colorado should intervene in the Hawthorne Case but I don't recall whether it went any further than that."

It would appear that the decision is along the lines that Colorado would have liked the decision to be. I think probably the Upper Colorado River Commission attorney will review this and that probably also the legal committee on the Commission I
