<br />1682 <br /> <br />DR. CLARK: <br />MR. STAPLETON: <br /> <br />MR. SPARKS: <br /> <br />As is our custom, we are recording <br />all the minutes of this proceeding and <br />any of our guests who care to speak, will <br />you please use this microphone on my right <br />which has a long cord on it so that we may <br />record your remarks for posterity. <br /> <br />I'd like at this time to introduce to <br />the members of the Board and our guests, the <br />first Director of Natural Resources for the <br />State of Colorado, Dr. Clark.

This silence was somewhat <br />disturbing to us ang aS,a result we paased <br />that resolution in Grand Junction. Immed- <br />iately thereafter the Upper Colorado River <br />Commission, in Cheyenne, Wyoming, adopted a <br />similar resolution. Shortly after that we <br />
