I MR. PETERSON: MR. STAPLETON: MR. PETERSON: MR. SPARXS: I -"-,,...,~ you will recall, was put over from our last meeting. The Board, some months ago, was furnished with a priority list prepared by our staff, in which we stated that we had no deep feeling one way or another about the priorities sug- gested, and that they were listed largely as a result of the recommendations of the Colo- rado River Water Conservation District Board." "Mr. Chairman, may I interrupt at this point?" "Go right ahead." "You mentioned 'priority of feasibility studies', Did you mean feasibility studies or priorities of reconnaissance studies?" "Feasibility. The reconnaissance investi- gations on all these projects have been com- pleted, although some of them are out of date. The last project that we have definitely scheduled at this time is the Upper Gunnison River Project which is scheduled for feasi- bility investigation this coming July, if Congress appropriates the funds that were re- quested in the Reclamation budget. After this coming fiscal year we have nothing defin- itely programed in the way of feasibility investigations. There is nothing that I can add to our memorandum. You will note that by a supple- mental memorandum we did recommend that the Juniper and Great Northern Projects be con- solidated into a single project investigation. If you will turn to page 2 in our summary where the Great Northern project is shown, it would read Great Northern and Juniper, and we would probably eventually consolidate this under the title of the Juniper project. This would then'eliminate the Juniper Project as item #5 and would, in effect then, renumber #6 as #5, so we would actually have five project priorities.
