MR. BENTON: Ith~nk, just: to voice our opposition to. the usurpation of state's-rights. MR. SPARKS: I don't think we ,will have too much disagree~nt within the Department of Natural Resources~I think-whatever a~eas of dis- agreement ther~, are wi-ll be small ,and we c~n iro~ them out.- I - ~ MR. S'l;APLETON; ,Mr. Jackson, f am going to -suggest tha.t mayb~ you can: ~ork on that reso1ut~on du~ing, the noon recess. And:I think it is important to have it right and perhaps'more expansive than you origi- na1~y suggested~ So, with your permissioq and the permission of the second, why don '.t we defer yotingon that: Maybe- Mary can help you get somethi-qg -in writing that we can: look at at that time;- MR. JACKSON: That is fine.- -:; ~ - . . . -, . MR. STAPLETON: We-will call for couunents froni the floor in a minute. Are there any~further comments from the members of tlte~Boardabout the ~esource policy or the ,meetings in Denver tomorrow? . MR~ SHERMAN: I want .to make one point, ~Ben, -and that is"i:hat I 'think we are all outraged by the process. The impression I get is that this exercise at the national level is going to go forward. I think it is in our best. interest to try to resPQnd constructively. Hopefully, we can ge.t the time that 'we ,need' tQ make a meaningful contribution. I really think that if we are:to make' an impact on.that process, we-will have to take:a constructive; tone. I think -if we do anything else they are going to virtually ignore:us., as : they: have in the past; I want tQ stress that. ~ :MR. FETCHER: :1 want to _ask one-more quest~on. implement the groups that are going to work on . - How are -we goiqg to . these four areas? - : MR. SPARKS: - My th~nking on: that: was th~t: the Board would take the r~sponsi~ility and direct me to organize the task force immediately. - . MR. STAP.LETON: BY -what date? MR. SPARKS: Let's say by:about the:15th of August. This is.about ten days.- - MR. STAPLETON: Will that give you enough t~? Harris, that won't give you mucq time. _ MR. 1?HE~N: I would anticipate 'that some of the divisions 'in the I depar~~entwil1 be working on some.of: these forces that Larry puts toge1;:her. "1' t~ink it is impo1;'tant that'~e try to reach some kind of. consensus on these ma~ters as~soonas possible. The task force ought to reflect that community of interest. So I don't think that is too muchofa problem., If we can get something five to seven days before the de~dline, Larry, I: ~hinkthat would_be adequate for my purposes.- MR. STAPLETON: Do we have a motion? -14-
