<br />I <br /> <br />MR. KROEGER: <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />MR.

It <br />is our recommendation to you that this com- <br />promise bill does embody the best and most <br />direct solution to that problem that the <br />Advisory Committee can see at this time. <br /> <br />Thank you." <br /> <br />"Thank you, Bob. <br /> <br />Mr. Geissinger, would you care to make <br />any comments at this time?" <br /> <br />"I don't believe so, other than this. I <br />agree that the first problem confronting us <br />is to administer in the least expensive way <br />that we possibly can the bringing of the <br />wells into the system. I think that was a <br />prime charge of the 407 studies. At least, <br />
