<br />1022 <br /> <br />MR. SPARKS: <br /> <br />MR. MOSES: <br /> <br />MR. McCANDLESS: <br /> <br />I personally feel that what fears exist <br />because of the lack of complete study should' <br />be overcome by the fear that by the time we <br />get around to getting this thing initiated, <br />the water might belong to California. As a <br />practical matter, that is the only point I <br />have to make." <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />"Speaking as one-third Director, I might <br />. make this observation to Mr. Peterson. It <br />might be proper to approve the general principle <br />set forth in here with the limitation that this <br />plan not be implemented in any way by this Board <br />until a more specific and detailed plan is sub- <br />mitted to the Board. Starting possibly next <br />week, the technical staff of the Board can meet <br />with the people who drafted this, and we can <br />immediately, try to boil it down to the actual <br />money needed and the actual personnel, and then <br />that could, shortly be presented to the Board. <br />I don't think it would do any harm, this type <br />or. procedure. I don't know. <br /> <br />It's not that we don't want to endorse <br />anything specific of the principle behind this <br />but the understanding it would not in any <br />way be implemented until it is given specific <br />approval by the Board. ~hat might be devised <br />within the next few weeks. <br /> <br />"The motion is to accept this plan in . <br />principle. I do think that it is something <br />that should be adopted in principle and we can, <br />at this time, have in this motion, should it pass, <br />to expedite the appointment of this study <br />commission prior to our next meeting. It seems <br />to me we have an important job between now and <br />January 1st in presenting a concrete program <br />for the water development in this State to the <br />Legislature and thirty days delay would be a <br />very serious and costly delay. In my opinion, <br />for such a prevention, I think by approving <br />it in principle, we can get started and continue <br />it on the next meeting of the Water Board." <br />~ <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />"It seems to me we could start at once <br />the study on the Glen Canyon thing whether <br />this thing passes or not. I am not speaking <br />against it but what's to hinder our staff from <br />starting that immediately? That's the one <br />thing that John says is necessary, the most <br />important thing in your estimation, is that right, <br />John ?" <br />
