<br />~ <br />~54 <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />GOV. JOHNSON: (Cont'd.l they can have your approval. I am <br />going to try and get a resolution through the <br />General Assembly also approving this alloca- <br />tion. This allocation is the whole thing I <br />want to be sure that it is in the bill and' <br />that it is in the bill without any strings. <br />When that is done, I will be perfectly satis- <br />fied but I want that formula in there without <br />strings.

I think <br />probably the result accomplished at Santa Fe <br />was the result of a proposal made by Mr. Delaney <br />at the Cheyenne meeting which was that the <br />Central Utah Project be separated from the <br />other projects and set up in a separate cate- <br />gory and that all revenues from the Central <br />Utah Project would go into a separate fund and <br />would be used for payment of the Central Utah <br />Project. <br /> <br />The reason Mr. Delaney did that was because <br />according to his figures, Utah could live--it <br />could construct its projects--under division <br />of the power credits according to the division <br />of water to' the compact, that is, 51.75 percent <br />to Colorado, and so on.
