Any private uses would have to be in accord With this plan. I <br />am sure that this approach would @uarantee to your satisfaction full considera- <br />tion of the public values involved. <br /> <br />"The only lands closed to the public at a Bureau of Reclamation reser- <br />voir, in addition to the land closed by the operating agency for operation and <br />safety purposes, would be those dedicated to private use as recognized by a <br />reservoir management plan developed after consultation >dth the Federal and state <br />agencies concerned. <br /> <br />Very truly yours, <br /> <br />Avery A.
