<br />MR. STAPLETON: <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />MR. PETERSON: <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: <br /> <br />JUDGE CONOUR: <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: <br /> <br />MR. NELSON: <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: <br /> <br />MR. NELSON: <br /> <br />"If I may interpolate your motion, you move <br />that this Colorado Water Board for the State of <br />Colorado go on record as opposing the construc- <br />tion of the protective works proposed for Rainbow <br />Bridge." <br /> <br />"That's right." <br /> <br />"Is there a second to that motion?" <br /> <br />IISecond.

PETERSON: <br /> <br />"It is our business - it involves our money." <br /> <br />"NO, not a national park." <br /> <br />"Yes, it does involve our money." <br /> <br />II How? II <br /> <br />"If we don't get - if we lose that 25 million <br />bucks it comes out of money we can get for proj- <br />ects." <br /> <br />"Mr. Chairman, I believe that if in return <br />the National Park Service or any conservation <br />group were to propose the expansion of the monu- <br />ment or making it into a national park and would <br />
