On the Yampa and the <br />vfuite, also on the Colorado. We talked before <br />about priorities by drainage. Now it seems we <br />are talking about priorities in the western <br />part of Colorado. Therefore it seems to me, <br />I have no particular interest in whether <br />Basalt is worked ahead of Juniper or not, <br />but it seems to me that Basalt is rather a <br />small project and a combination of the Great <br />Northern and the Juniper would be. quite a <br />large project. probably those two projects <br />would be worked simultaneously." <br /> <br />"I think you have something there." <br /> <br />"Hay I ask this, in thinking ofa motion <br />in the rough. I've been trying to write a <br />motion. I would say, 'Move that the previous <br />action of this Board with respect to the prior- <br />ity of considerations by the Reclamation <br />Bureau of the Juniper Project be retained, <br />provided also that the Juniper Project has <br />now been amended by adding the Great Northern <br />Project' ." <br /> <br />. "Senator, I'm afraid that might hurt the <br />Juniper Project because our previous action <br />was. taken on priori ties. in each. particular. <br />basin. In other words, we had three or_four <br />#l's, three or four#2's, and .so on. At this <br />time we are making out a priority for a com- <br />bined area. So I think a new resolution, da <br />new priority, should be established at this <br />time setting forth the projects in the order <br />in which they should be investigated for feasi- <br />bility on the western slope of ~olorado." <br />
