I I MR. D. MILLER: MR. STAPLETON: MR. DAVIS: MR. STAPLETON: So we are going to have all the answers. That is part of the program. We have to do it under present conditions and make other assump- tions as to new water that we'll get. I think Dave will have all his answers." "It is not only important that I have the answers but that the public have the answers generally. I'm glad that Stan pointed out that this is one of the things that we have to know because by assuming the construction of Two Forks, you're assuming something that mayor may not ever happen. Now if we are arriving at the point where, regardless of whether its Hardin or Narrows, we must also have Two Forks, then I think this must be understood generally and must also be one of the answers that come forth. I was just trying to page through the min- utes of the South Platte Steering Committee and I don't find it but I'm sure that it was pointed out by Cecil Osborne and by others who were familiar with this stretch of the South Platte River in an administrative capacity for irri- gation companies, they make the flat statement that during the months of July and August there can be no appreciable exchange of any amount of water into any of the three ditches to which I referred - Henrylynn and Farmers Company through the O'Brien Canal, Bijou through the Bijou Canal, and Riverside through the Riverside Canal. In any agricultural program, of course, the months of July and August are the must and if there can be no exchange during that time then these proj ects would not be feasible." "Are there any further comments on the re- port from Region 7? Mr. Davis." "I would like to say that I think Stanley Miller stated the case very well. When we com- plete this analysis I think we should have the information that Mr. Miller is interested in." "Thank you. Jim Knights."
