<br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />NR. STAPLETON: <br /> <br />NR. NOSES: <br /> <br />'JVOJ <br /> <br />On the 24th I spoke to the 9th District <br />meeting of the Colorado Water congress and <br />reported essentially what I have reported here <br />about the Rio Grande compact meeting - nothing. <br /> <br />Tomorrow I hope - I thought Larry was <br />reading from my speech - to try to persuade <br />the oil shale people that it is time they <br />quit talking and started doing something <br />about helping ge~ projects in western Colorado <br />to use the municipal and industrial water that <br />is available for oil shale. <br /> <br />Next week Nebraska is having some pains <br />about ground water and they have a unicameral <br />legislature, as you know. They are having <br />committee hearings next week and Frank Tre- <br />lease, Sr., and I are going to go tell them <br />what Colorado's and 11yoming's experiences <br />have been, for whatever it may be worth." <br /> <br />"l'lhat have our experiences been? I' d <br />be interested in that." <br /> <br />"That's all I have to report. <br /> <br />I might add one thing on the deep breath- <br />ers. I have the pictures that were almost <br />destroyed down at Grand Canyon. I have those <br />up in Boulder now because last night I got <br />caught in the cogs of what they call the <br />Senior Seminar at the Law School and one of <br />the professors there believes'that the Grand <br />Canyon should not be destroyed. "Ie had a <br />little debate and I needed some help so I <br />wrote to Joe phelan who is running the inform- <br />ation office in Washington for the people and <br />I got the big maps that Mr. Dominy used in <br />the hearings and then I got the set of colored <br />pictures which are very graphic. They show <br />the 'tail waters in',the upper reaches of Bridge <br />canyon. You can't tell, in the before and <br />after pictures, the difference. We had a <br />good lively argument about power too and I <br />pointed out to them that there were applica- <br />tions pending before the Federal Power Commission <br />
