<br />2::l18 <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: <br /> <br />MR. WHITTEN: <br /> <br />l'IR. STAPLETON: <br /> <br />MR. WHITTEN: <br /> <br />MR. SPARKS: <br /> <br />MR. WHITTEN: <br /> <br />I am going to suggest to our group that <br />perhaps an advisory committee in addition to <br />the steering committee might be possible in <br />order to get a wide base of representation." <br /> <br />"All right. I think Lew has said that it <br />is our problem and now that we have got recom- <br />mendations we should go ahead. Is there any <br />further comments from anyone on the Narrows <br />Project?" <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />"Mr. Chairman." <br /> <br />"Mr. Whitten." <br /> <br />"We've had some discussion before about <br />this Narrows Project as to - just a matter of <br />terminology - the name of the project. I <br />would like to hear from the Director. Per- <br />haps he can answer this question as to whether <br />it is proposed to continue with this under <br />the name of the 'Narrows , to retain some <br />semblance of benefit from the former author- <br />ization or whether it will be different? <br />There is some disagreement down in the Missouri <br />Basin about this name." <br /> <br />"We are calling it the 'Narrows' at this <br />time for the lack of a better name. Actually <br />we will have to come up with a new project <br />name in the near future. It is easier to <br />work under what we now call the 'Narrows <br />Project' for purposes of appropriations and <br />so on. <br /> <br />Incidentally, we have had some questions <br />as to the magnitude of this project in terms <br />of cost. This is a project of considerable <br />magnitude. We, of course, have no cost esti- <br />mates at this time but I will hazard a guess <br />that we are talking about a project which <br />will cost in excess of $100,000,000. So it <br />is a pretty good size project." <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />"I have one other question, Mr. Chairman. <br />That involves some of the financing so far as <br />this may be connected with the Missouri Basin <br />
