"Mr. Chairman, may I ask that the attendance
record please be passed around and everybody
that is here sign it?"

"We have an attendance record, I don't

your names on it and indicate your affiliation
or representation, such as Chamber of Commerce,

a permanent record of this attendance.

"Gentlemen, my previous memorandum of
AUgust 22, 1963. on this subject is in your
folders. Since writing that memorandum there
has been no occurrence which, in any way,
would change what we had to say in that staff
memorandum. Also iri your folders are a number
of resolutions and letters pertaining to this
agenda item. We just this date have received
a few more that we did not have an opportunity
to reproduce. They are expressions of inter-
est both for and against this permanent pool.

We also received yesterday and today,
petitions purported to be signed by residents
of the Arkansas Valley, from Granada, Holly,
and on upstream. These petitions purport to
contain the signatures of 2499 residents of
the Arkansas Valley in favor of this permanent
pool. We have no idea as to the validity of
these signatures. We assume, at this time,
that they are perfectly valid and legal ex-
pressions of interest. They are available

over.
