<br />J~VO <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: <br /> <br />MR. KROEGER: <br /> <br />were adopted. There is cne prevision in there <br />that prcvides that in the Coloradc River Basin <br />no commissicn can be established in that basin <br />without the ccnsent of three of the fcur Upper <br />Basin states. We have our own upper Coloradc <br />River commission and even if a basin ccmmission I <br />is established on the Coler ado we expect cur <br />Upper Cclcrado River Ccmmission to still func- <br />tion in the manner that it always has. In any <br />event, it takes the approval of three of our <br />four Upper Basin states before a river basin <br />ccmmissicn can be formed for the Cclcradc River <br />which would involve cur four states. <br /> <br />We have previously sent out ccpies cf the <br />legislaticn and we have discussed this fer some <br />two cr three years. In view cf the request for <br />infcrmaticn that Governcr Lcve has now received, <br />it is time fer the Board to take some action. <br />The decisicn as tc whether cr net Cclcrado <br />should jcin such a commission lies with the <br />Governor and he has requested some advice from <br />us so that he can decide in each instance as <br />to whether or not we shculd beccme a part cf <br />these planning ccmmissicns. <br /> <br />We have prcpcsed a fcrm of resoluticn <br />which would be submitted to the Gcverncr urging <br />that Ccloradc participate under this law. We <br />actually expect to get some funds under the <br />authority of this law, although technically it <br />is net necessary for us tc belcng tc a river <br />basin ccmmission in crder tc get some planning <br />funds." <br /> <br />"Before 1I1e get intc that agenda item, Fred <br />Kreeger, do ycu have anyone you would like to <br />introduce that you haven't befcre?" <br /> <br />"Ben, thank you. The lccal editor of the <br />paper, I think, is here. Did Art step cut? <br />There he is. This is Art Ballentine from the <br />Herald News. Art is a real pctent fcrce in <br />this area and periodically since, I guess <br />January of 1966, he asks me if I am still <br /> <br />I <br />
