<br />HR. STAPLETON: <br /> <br />working toward flood control, control of <br />phreatophytes and other measures that might <br />improve the flood and water situation on the <br />LO\o1er Arkansas. He are coordinating our <br />efforts with the Corps of Engineers on this I <br />activity. We met with the Dallas representa- <br />tives of the Corps on December 13, 1965, to <br />discuss the coordination. <br /> <br />I am sure that you are interested in <br />moving the Trinidad Project toward construc- <br />tion and we have been working vigorously with <br />the conservancy district to complete contractual <br />arrangements. By resolution adopted December <br />29, 1965, the district board approved a draft <br />of the master contract that we would execute <br />with the conservancy district. There remains <br />much work to be done by the district board to <br />contract with the individual ditch companies. <br />Each ditch company will receive benefits that <br />are related to the kind of water rights and <br />water services that they can be supplied. <br />Each ditch company will, of course, contract <br />for a separate amount or an individual amount <br />of repayment so this is a substantial chore. <br />.'Ie \olill be working with the district board to <br />help in every way we can to solve those de- <br />tailed problems. ITe are encouraged that work <br />is moving fOrward. <br /> <br />The Hayden-Archer transmission line has <br />been completed and we have activated the lines. <br />They are functioning very satisfactorily and <br />we are very happy to at long last complete <br />tha t line. <br /> <br />That completes my report, Mr. Chairman." <br /> <br />"Thank you, f.lr. Dugan. I notice your <br />report was dated January 17th. It is my <br />recollection there was some news release on <br />the T\~o Forks project on about the 23rd. <br />Could you fill us in on time schedule, any <br />dates, deadlines, etc.?" <br /> <br />"I <br /> <br />I <br />
