<br />211 <br /> <br />has been some criticism on this point. <br /> <br />The Buckhorn Creek small water s~ed retardation project. Not long <br />ago some people from the Quint Valley called on the Governor and <br />wished to have that project established on the same status as the <br />Buckhorn. The SoiL Conservation Service were to use Buckhorn as a <br />laboratory to show'the effects of water retardation. 40 of these <br />project$ have been selected throughout the United States. 11 in <br />the State of Kansas. There is nothing to prevent the Quint Valley <br />Flood Protection Association from organizing and getting ready to <br />participate when the opportunity offer$. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />MR.

CRAWFORD: <br /> <br />The Missouri Basin Interagency Conunittee also <br />meets once a month, but it hasn't any funds at <br />its disposal to make investigations.
