",Vhile we are awaiting the official
minutes of that action, do I understand, Mr.
Sparks, that in talking about combining the
Great Northern and the Juniper Projects the
staff is recommending that that be a second
priority out of five on this list that you
have?"

I

IIThat is correct."

"Mr. Chairman, in this document dated
March 5, 1964, recommendations by Mr. Sparks,
in the next to the last paragraph on page 2,
Mr. Sparks says:

'It is our recommendation, therefore,
that the Juniper Project be treated solely as
a Colorado project and planning proceed on
that basis. '

I think that that fifth position that he
recommends is on the Juniper Project coupled
with utah. He goes on to say:

'It is our recommendation, therefore, that
the Juniper Project be treated solely as a
Colorado project and planning proceed on that
basis. In such case we feel that it is impera-
tive that additional lands be included within
the scope of the project. One possible way
of doing this is to consolidate the initial
phase of the Juniper Project with the Great
Northern Project. Such a solution may not be
popular with everyone concerned, but offers
the best possibility for the ultimate construc-
tion of the Juniper Project that we can come
up with at this time.'

Speaking personally, I am very much in
favor of taking action to couple the Juniper
Project with the Great Northern Project. Mr.
Sparks is here and he can speak for himself;
I shouldn't be interpreting what he had in
mind but it occurred to me that that is what
he had in mind. I think he would probably
like to see Juniper have a higher priority
