<br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: <br /> <br />MR. BARKLEY: <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: <br /> <br />MR. BARKLEY: <br /> <br />'MR. SCOTT: <br /> <br />-.r .....v <br /> <br />Immediately we run headlong into a <br />gentleman by the name of Hayden, a Senator <br />from Arizona who is Chairman of the Appro- <br />priations Committee. This Board and this <br />state is interested in the Curecanti and in <br />other projects and I think, when it comes to <br />directing your resolution, it certainly would <br />be politic that the states of the upper divi~ <br />sion do it in conjunction, one with the other; <br />not to have ourselves singled out here on a <br />limb for Mr. Hayden's firing squad." <br /> <br />"Mr. Barkley, does that mean that our <br />resolution would not be forwarded until the <br />other states concurred in it?" <br /> <br />"I think that certainly ought to be ex- <br />plored, Mr. Chairman. I don't think there <br />would be any disagreement. Mr. Nelson has <br />pointed out in part, in his discussion, and <br />Mr. Scott and Mr. Sargent, I think, would <br />agree that probably the other states of the <br />upper division have an equal interest with <br />the State 'of Colorado in precisely the same <br />thing - the marketing area and the allocation - <br />but consequently I personally don't visualize <br />any problem in the other states going along <br />in asking the Secretary for it. All we are <br />suggesting is that it ought to be done as a <br />joint venture or a joint request to the <br />Secretary rather than a singular state ask- <br />ing the Secretary in behalf of all the upper <br />division." <br /> <br />"Do you have any idea as to how far the <br />other states have progressed in consideration <br />of this matter? If there might be a long de- <br />lay we might keep that in mind." <br /> <br />"Frankly I can't answer that, Ben. Maybe <br />Howard or Ralph or some of those on the com- <br />mittee who attended this Salt Lake meeting <br />might come closer to answering that than I <br />can." <br /> <br />"I couldn't say, Ben, but the water agen- <br />cies of each of the upper basin states were <br />represented in Salt Lake and that was where <br />I observed the reaction of the man from the <br />State of Arizona and personally, I would be <br />inclined to say that something was at least <br />pending since that time. Presently, however, <br />we are working on this very thing, not the <br />
