CRANbALL: <br /> <br />MR. spARKs: <br /> <br />MR. KROEGER: <br /> <br />MR. CRANDALL: <br /> <br />"Budgetary problems aren't a reflection <br />necessarily of the Department. It is a national <br />problem that every program in the country re- <br />flects." <br /> <br />"Any possibility of reclamation being a <br />deterrent to unemployment rates that will <br />stimulate some construction?" <br /> <br />"We certainly have the capability. We <br />have a,nUmber of authorized projects. Almost <br />all of the bac~ground work has been done, de- <br />signs are on the shelf and we have the experienced <br />staff on hand.

" <br /> <br />"Any other questions from members of the <br />Board?

But they do have an active pro- <br />gram and my understanding is that this winter <br />for the first time they have some pilot test <br />work in the San Juan Valley." <br /> <br />, "Yes, the generators have b~.en turned on <br />at least once that I know of. There is quite <br />a program going on in the San Juan Basin. <br />This is the first year in which seeding has <br />actually taken place. If we get too much <br />snow, we will have complaints frdm people <br />there. If we don't get enough we'il have com- <br />plaints. Either way, we can't win." <br /> <br />"We are very agreeable people down there. <br />We never complain!" <br /> <br />"It wasn't only the generators that were <br />
