<br />MR. STAPLETON: <br /> <br />"I don't think we have much except we can <br />work with Mr. Aspinall." <br /> <br />MR. SPARKS: <br /> <br />"We have considerable strength in the Con- <br />gress today. In addition to the Chairman, our <br />Senators are members of the Interior Committee <br />of the Senate. Senator Allott is a senior <br />member of the Senate Appropriations Committee. <br />The State of Colorado is not powerless by any <br />means nor are the other Upper Basin states. We <br />have a voice like other citizens of the United <br />States in the United States Congress." <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />MR.

I have my <br />report in an outline form for you with the <br />specific facts and figures shown and I will, <br />with photographs and some diagrams and dis- <br />cussion, try to fill in to give you a general <br />picture of where we are. <br /> <br />I <br />
