<br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />MR. BARKLEY: <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: <br /> <br />MR. BERTHELSON: <br /> <br />MR. SPARKS: <br /> <br />,JV/.J <br /> <br />comments they would like to make as a result <br />of our trip last week." <br /> <br />"I think not, Larry. You have covered <br />it adequately." <br /> <br />"Any questions from members of the Board <br />on this item?" <br /> <br />"What's the position of the California <br />power people? Have they acquiesed?" <br /> <br />"Yes, they apparently have finally agreed <br />to these operating principles. The State of <br />California will state officially that it <br />approves these operating principles. <br /> <br />Now there are two or three matters that <br />are causing a little difficulty. One is the <br />sizing of the aqueduct for the Central Arizona <br />Project. In the original hearings the testi- <br />mony was a little loose as to the size of the <br />aqueduct. The testimony by l1r. Dominy, as I <br />recall, stated that they had not sized the <br />aqueduct, that it would be somewhere between <br />1800 and 3800 second feet capacity. This <br />does not satisfy California and does not fully <br />satisfy us either. California has made an <br />issue of this point and I think the size of <br />that aqueduct must be resolved before these <br />hearings. I will leave for California this <br />coming Sunday and will meet with the Califor- <br />nia people in Los Angeles on Monday and Tues- <br />day to determine whether or not any agreement <br />can be reached on this aqueduct sizing. In <br />fact, such an agreement must be reached prior <br />to the time hearings are held. <br /> <br />There are some other minor problems in <br />connection with the bill that yet have to be <br />worked out. They are not problems which <br />really concern us but we have offered our <br />offices to try to help resolve the problems <br />which are occurring among the Lower Basin <br />states.
