We did have a meeting with the Board of Directors of the Purgatoire River Water Con- servancy District on the 28th of April and there we explained to them again the operating proce- dures on which the project was predicated and pointed out - Mr. Sparks did in particular - the necessary arrangements and agreements which will have to be made both internally in the district and with agencies outside of the district and the transfer of the storage decree.

We have made evalua- tions to reflect the conditions which the con- gressional committee imposed on the project for this year and we find that it is just as feasi- ble as it ever was.

And we do also hope that probably in June we will be able to submit to the committee an evaluation of the relative merits of the Narrows and the Weld
