<br />::>~.lb <br /> <br />MR. KROEGER: <br /> <br />"I can't think cf this happening tc a <br />nicer perscn: <br /> <br />I wonder if Larry will review once again <br />how this prcpcsed commissicn meshes cr gears <br />with the Upper Colcradc River ccmmission." <br /> <br />MR. SPARKS: <br /> <br />"If we set up a Colcradc River basin plan- <br />ning ccmmissicn under this act, it would include <br />all cf the Cclcradc River Basin states. At the <br />present time cur Upper Basin Commission was <br />established fer the respcrlsibility of carrying <br />out the terms cf the Upper Ccloradc River Basin <br />Compact.

GOSLIN: <br /> <br />"As a matter of fact, Larry, I think the <br />Upper Cclcradc River Ccmmission wculd have <br />representation en this river basin planning ccm- <br />mission .under the law." <br /> <br />MR.
