<br />f~O <br /> <br />which $25,610 was contributed by the State, leaving $489,549 <br />Federal funds. The addition of the $340,137 allotted for in- <br />vestigations on the various projects in Nevada brings the <br />total to $855,296. This lea?es a balance of $152,605 avail- <br />able for investigation work in other states with Region 4. <br /> <br />On my plane trip to Denver, I went over our data <br />with reference to the reports which Region 4 has prepared <br />on projects in western Colorado in recent years. But before <br />going into the number of reports prepared, I would like to <br />explain that the. investigation work started soon after the <br />Regional Offices were set up in the Bureau of Reclamation was <br />first concentrated on the preparation of a comprehensive re- <br />port on some 134 potential irrigation and power projects in <br />the entire Colorado River Basin. This report, as you are <br />aware, was published as the 1946 report on the Colorado River. <br />Work after that time was then concentrated on detailed re- <br />ports for the Colorado River Storage Project and 11 partici- <br />pating projects which were completed in about 1950 and were <br />the reports on which Public Law 485 was based. So my explana- <br />tion will cover the reports prepared by our office (by the <br />Region) during the fiscal years 1951 to 1958 inclusive. We <br />completed 53 reports on potential projects and units of pro- <br />jects in western Colorado, out of a total of 62 for the entire <br />region. These reports include reconnaissance, status, special, <br />detailed project, and definite plan reports. The number also <br />includes the separate units included in the Gunnison, Cliffs- <br />Divide, and Yampa-White reports because of the size of these <br />units and the fact that the investigation work for each is <br />similar in extent to that required on many of the individual <br />projects. <br /> <br />For the fiscal years 1958 to 1960 inclusive, our <br />proposed program for the Region includes the completion of <br />16 reports of various kinds on individual projects in the <br />Region, of which 10 of the reports will be for projects in <br />western Colorado. <br /> <br />In addition to the funds allotted for the General <br />Investigations on projects in western Colorado which I ex- <br />plained earlier, there are also advance planning funds for <br />the preparation of definite plan reports on the authorized <br />participating projects. These allotments are as follows: <br /> <br />Florida <br />Paonia <br />Pine River Extension <br />Silt <br />Smith Fork <br />Quality of Water <br /> <br />Total <br /> <br />$ 84,401 <br />54,239 <br />133,857 <br />57,022 <br />87,104 <br />13.105 <br />$429,728 <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br />
