<br />, <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: <br /> <br />MR. MILLER: <br /> <br />from the Colorado River basin. On the other <br />hand, this project fully contemplates and must <br />recognize the legal rights of any entity in <br />eastern Colorado to store in the project struc- <br />tures waters from whatever source to which those <br />entities may be legally entitled under the law. <br />This is not a problem for the United States <br />Government. Nothing in this project contem- <br />plates any diversions or decrees initiated by <br />the project or the United States Government as <br />a part of the project for the importation of <br />water from west of the Continental Divide. The <br />so-called Blue River-South Platte plan mentioned <br />by Mr. Bunger, as I attempted to emphasize earl- <br />ier, plays absolutely no part in the present <br />South Platte development plan. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Every interested agency and individual in <br />the State of Colorado will have ample oppor- <br />tunity from day to day and from month to month <br />to submit any comments desired. And when this <br />plan is finally evolved it ~ only be success- <br />ful if every agency in the State of Colorado is <br />fully united behind it. There will be no at- <br />tempt in this project to deceive anyone. This <br />project, or any other project within this state, <br />cannot be successful until it has the solid <br />endorsement of every agency, whether it be <br />eastern, western, northern or southern. <br /> <br />That outlines the conditions which the <br />Bureau is fully aware of, which this Board is <br />fully aware of, and which we would like to have <br />everybody in the state fully aware of. It is <br />predicated upon those conditions and understand- <br />ing that this recommendation has been made by <br />our staffs that the investigation be instituted <br />and the funds be appropriated for it." <br /> <br />"Does anyone have a comment on these con- <br />ditions before we vote on the motion that Mr. <br />Miller made? Mr. Miller, you made the motion, <br />do you incorporate that basis and understanding <br />in the motion?" <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />"I renew the motion with that statement in <br />mind. U <br />
