"Any comments or questions about the Albuquer-
que District, Corps of Engineers, report?

If not, we'll then turn to the Omaha Dis-
trict, Corps of Engineers. Mr. Slizeski, I think
you get the prize for being the furthest away
from home today. I don't know what it is but
Mrs. Keating will award it to you. We're glad
to have you here. He is one of our faithful
members. I think you missed last time for the
first time."

Mr. Chairman, members of the Board, ladies

in the South Platte River Basin - the review
study of the 1945 investigation; a program of
flood plain information studies for the Denver
i'letropolitan Region; and a Small Flood Control
Project at Skunk Creek at the Bureau of Standards
property at Boulder, Colorado.

In our review investigation we are continu-
ing with an evaluation of the economic magnitude
of the flood damage potential in the upper basin.
At the present time we are making studies of
flood damage potentials on Bear Creek and Clear
Creek. Studies to date on the other streams in
the upper basin have thus far failed to demon-
strate flood damage potential of sufficient
magnitude to indicate economic justification of
flood control measures. In part this is due to
more rigid methodology adopted since the pre-
vious report in 1945. However, long term growth
projections and the potential for.joint flood
control and water resources development must be
investigated more fully to determine the potential
