SPARKS: <br /> <br />"I'd like to ask a question, Larry - I <br />think I know the answer but I want to make <br />it clear. This project is subject to all <br />contracts entered into between this State <br />and other states and divisions of the basin. <br />Is that right?" <br /> <br />"That's correct. That's specifically <br />stated in the operating principles and the <br />authorizing legislation as it will even- <br />tually be submitted. <br /> <br />I want to add to what Ben has said. I <br />certainly appreciate the great amount of <br />time that everyone has put in on this pro- <br />blem from both of the two boards concerned. <br />It has been an honest, sincere effort and <br />the differences of opinion that exist are, <br />by and large, honest and sincere opinions. <br />I have had occasion, once or twice, to ques- <br />tion the real reason behind some objections <br />but in general, I can say in almost every <br />case that these opinions were honest; they <br />were sincere and everyone was vitally in- <br />terested in attempting to resolve the pro- <br />blems. Everyone who has participated in <br />this committee or in any of the Board ac- <br />tions, this Board and the other two boards, <br />has been guided by what is best for the <br />State of Colorado." <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />"I'd like to ask another question, if I <br />may. You say there are some differences on <br />agreement between the East and West Slopes, <br />is it possible that the continuing of the <br />Policy and Review Committee's discussions <br />and meetings could resolve these differences <br />so that they could bring to the Board an <br />agreement between the two parties?" <br /> <br />"I think as far as the Policy and Review <br />Committee is concerned we have gone as far <br />as we can, Pete. <br /> <br />This document as it is written here I <br />has been approved by the Southeastern board. <br />Now there is some little difference con- <br />cerning what action the Colorado River <br />Board took. There is one item here that <br />their representatives feel will have to be <br />discussed. It is an item which we don't <br />think, as far as the Bureau of Reclamation <br />advises me they will not back up on. So ,as <br />
