<br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />MR. GEISSINGER: <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: <br /> <br />MR. CORNELIUS: <br /> <br />MR. STAPLE'l'ON: <br /> <br />MR. BER'l'HELSON: <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: <br /> <br />MR. BER'l'HELSON: <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: <br /> <br />must be released from Lake Powell for the next <br />IS to 20 years at least, if not longer than that. <br />Let's say for the next IS to 20 years. If we <br />get anything like a normal flow of the river, <br />8.25 is not a bad figure. But if we have a low <br />river flow. then it is a bad figure as far as <br />the upper Basin is concerned. <br /> <br />Our objection is that 8.25 maf is obviously <br />tied to 75 million plus the Mexican Treaty. I <br />would think that if we have something like a <br />normal flow of the river we can live with that <br />figure. What we cannot stand is the implication <br />that it constitutes an obligation on the Upper <br />Basin to deliver 750,000 feet for the Mexican <br />Treaty. " <br /> <br />"Mr. Chairman, I would like at this time to <br />move that we adopt the 'Comments and Recommend- <br />ations of Colorado. New Mexico. Utah and Wyoming' <br />as the official position of this Board." <br /> <br />"It has been regularly moved. Is there a <br />second?" <br /> <br />"I will second it." <br /> <br />"Mr. Cornelius has seconded it. Is there <br />further discussion?" <br /> <br />"Question." <br /> <br />"Mr. Berthelson. did you have a question <br />about the probability curve?" <br /> <br />"Well, I did have but it has been explained <br />thoroughly so I am satisfied I When they got <br />up to 110 percent they lost mel" <br /> <br />"I have a feeling Mr. Sparks' legal train- <br />ing came out. Some lawyers, not just Mr. Sparks, <br />when they have a problem they don't understand <br />they explain it with the remark 'It is so simple <br />I won't bother you with the details'l" <br />
