DEXHEIMER: <br /> <br />MR. HILLER: <br /> <br />MR. DEXHEIHER: <br /> <br />feet project and this Board reduced <br />it to the one we have now. For my in- <br />formation I would like to ask what is <br />the size of the original Curecanti <br />Project?" <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />"Two and one-half million acre-feet." <br /> <br />"What was the feasibility on this ' <br />plan?" <br /> <br />"The reason that it was more attrac- <br />tive was because of the size. When you <br />drop down to a 940,000 acre-foot project <br />you don't have that carryover. We made <br />a statement that we found this 940,000 <br />acre-feet plan unfeasible." <br /> <br />"What would it take at the present <br />time to go back to the one big dam and <br />when could we get a report on this?" <br /> <br />"This Board appointed a Review and <br />Policy Committee to study this and it <br />was discussed for at least two years. <br />This.Board took final action on the <br />Policy Committee's findings and rejected <br />the 2t million acre-feet plan. Now would <br />be a poor time to bring up anything about <br />a larger dam." <br /> <br />"I desire to bring out this fact <br />today." <br /> <br />"Public Law 485 limits the quantity <br />of water. We are in no position to do <br />anything on the original project." <br /> <br />"But I still would like to know what <br />the feasibility was on the 2t million <br />acre-feet report. If by going backwards <br />we can find out the power feasibility of <br />the 2t million acre-feet project, I for <br />one, think we should do it." <br /> <br />"I don't recall the difference in the <br />benefit cost ratio but I think it should <br />be obvious that if we got 2! million acre- <br />feet in one dam that it would be a little <br /> <br />I <br />
