<br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: <br /> <br />MR. SPARI<S: <br /> <br />,JVVI <br /> <br />projects that were programed are right on <br />schedule. " <br /> <br />"Let's then turn to Agenda Item #3, H. R. <br />4671. Larry has been meeting with the Ad- <br />visory Committee and went down to Washington <br />last week with several members of that <br />committee. Will you report on H.R. 4671?" <br /> <br />"This past ...,eek there were about five of <br />us, as I recall, from Colorado who went back <br />and met with the members of our congressional <br />delegation and with officials from California <br />and Arizona and the Upper Basin. The people <br />who went back were Bob Barkley, the Chairman <br />of our Colorado River Advisory Committee, Mr. <br />Jack Ross and Mr. Bob Fischer of the Denver <br />Water Board, Mr. Sam Maynes of the Southwestern <br />District, and John Sayre of the Northern Colo- <br />rado District and myself. <br /> <br />We also met with f1r; Dominy, the Commis- <br />sioner of Reclamation, and some of his people, <br />Mr. Ed Neinberg, Assistant Solicitor for the <br />Department of the Interior, going over various <br />problems in connection with H. R. 4671. <br /> <br />In ~tr. Jennings' report it is stated <br />that the Dolores project has been approved by <br />the Bureau of the Budget, which is true. <br />There is no particular problem with the Dolores <br />project. The Bureau of the Budget gave it a <br />clean bill of health. They pointed out one <br />item, I don't know whether it is minor or not, <br />but they suggested that the price of municipal <br />and industrial water be increased. They felt <br />that the price per acre-foot was a little low. <br />This will be worked out in the definite plan <br />stage if the project is authorized. So there <br />is no particular problem whatsoever with the <br />Dolores Project. <br /> <br />Since the report of Region 4 was prepared <br />the report of the Secretary of the Interior <br />to the president, that is, it goes to the <br />Bureau of the Budget, has been submitted on <br />
