"Can you tell us what other areas of dis-
agreement or nonconcurrence the Advisory
Committee delved into in addition to the
question of composition and appointment of
the commissions?"

"Generally speaking. Mr. Stapleton. I
think we addressed ourselves to the general
concept rather than to the individual sec-
tions of the bill. There are perhaps numerous
details of procedure that might be done dif-
ferently but to which no one had any princi-
pal objection.

I think we had a con census on the con-
cept contained within the bill. aside from
the manner and operation of the commissions
per se. I am certain that I can say that
there was a feeling that the bill did address
itself to the solution of conjunctive use of
ground and surface waters in a clear. more
defined fashion. with more guidelines. more
specifics as to how it can be done. than any
other proposals that we have seen."

"Now I take it. from your initial comment
and you can certainly deny this. that the
Advisory Board at this point would not
recommend the passage of this bill in its
present form as a matter of policy of the
Advisory Board? Is that correct?"
