<br />338 <br /> <br />/ <br /> <br />Mr. Saunders: "I would like to explain the concern of <br />Denver because of the position taken by this Board in <br />Findings and Recommendations, Paragr~ph 10, adopted by <br />this Board on December 11. I would like to call attention <br />again of the Board to the request made by Denver on June 11, <br />1951, two and a half years ago. On the Colorado River <br />Storage Project, Denver's comments were made with the <br />assumption that others in the State would also make comments. <br />Denver's comments requested this Board to recommend that <br />the Colorado River Storage Project be so designed and <br />operated as to give full protection to the Colorado Big <br />Thompson Project. We were happy with that part of paragraph <br />10, which provided that Denver should participate in <br />regulation. In other words, the language at the present <br />time is not specific. We would rather stick to the <br />resolution adopted at the December meeting." <br /> <br />Mr. Breitenstein: "Tne draft that you have there represents <br />a good many hours work and the contribution of a good many <br />individuals. I endeavored, to the best of my ability, to <br />look at it from the standpoint of Colorado. It was the <br />best I could do at the time. I have considerable doubt as <br />to whether or not you will get either the Bureau of <br />Reclamation or the Department of Interior to take any <br />stronger action at this time." <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Mr. Saunders: "We would like to try for a little more than <br />they are giving us." <br /> <br />Mr. Breitenstein: "I think you would all like to do that <br />on both sides of the mountains." <br /> <br />Mr. Meek: "What do you suggest that the Western Slope should <br />do in reference to Curecanti." . <br /> <br />Mr. Breitenstein: "There should be evidence introduced <br />showing the feasibility of Curecanti, if Colorado has agreed <br />on a program. The way to get Curecanti in is to have it <br />wi~tten in as an amendment. I think this'proposal here <br />leaves the way open to doing it. I think the thing should be <br />supported on the House side, but the insistence should be on <br />the Senate side." . <br /> <br />I <br />
