<br />MR. KROEGER: <br /> <br />Ma. CORNELIUS: <br /> <br />hurt. When the state budget is cut, we're <br />hurt. I think, through a misunderstanding <br />this year, through an unfavorable comparison <br />of numbers, that the legislature was exposed <br />to, our budget was cut by $82,000 which <br />meant to us $164,000. Now to the people like <br />the Bureau of Reclamation or the Corps of I <br />Engineers, this doesn't sound like too much, - <br />but to us this is a real whack. At the late <br />date that we found out about it there was <br />very little we could do except to talk to a <br />few of the legislators and try to explain <br />that perhaps they had made this unfavorable <br />comparison.

We have our <br />basic program for collection of basic records <br />where we can sustain lower grade technicians <br />but our highly trained personnel are in <br />jeopardy when we have budget cuts of this <br />sort. <br /> <br />I certainly thank you. Are there any <br />questions?" <br /> <br />"Any questions from the Board?" <br /> <br />"Fred, I have a question. Two, Ted. <br />You have reached two conclusions concerning <br />the San Luis Valley; paragraph three on page <br />two of your written report. One is that <br />after sustained operation of the proposed <br />water salvage program, there will be little <br />effect on existing water supplies. The <br />second is that your data show there is free <br />hydraulic connection between the shallow <br /> <br />I <br />
