<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />DRAFT <br /> <br />The Honorable John Doolittle <br />Chairman <br />House Resources Water and Power Subcommittee <br />1522 Longworth House Office Building <br />Washington, D.C. 20515 <br /> <br />Re: H.R. 2348, <br /> <br />Dear Chairman Doolittle: <br /> <br />On June 24th, Rep. James V. Hansen and seven other co-sponsors introduced H.R. 2348, a <br />bill to authorize the Bureau of Reclamation to authorize cost sharing for the endangered fish <br />recovery implementation programs for the Upper Colorado and San Juan River Basins. I am <br />writing to ask you to will schedule a hearing on this bill in September. <br /> <br />It is critically important that this legislation be enacted during the I06th Congress. <br /> <br />State and federal agencies, and non-governmental organizations have already invested <br />million of dollars and many years reconciling Endangered Species Act demands with water <br />supply needs throughout Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming. As a result, Colorado <br />believes the continuation of Colorado and San Juan Endangered Fish Recovery Programs is <br />critically important to our ability to continue to develop our compact-apportioned water supply and <br />to recovering the four endangered Colorado River fish species. <br /> <br />I hope we can count on your support. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />Peter Evans <br />Director <br />
