<br />generally we have always felt that this was a viable project. Unless <br />these questions raise new issues and facts we are not aware of, he <br />will continue to support the project. I think he would welcome the <br />views of the Water Conservation Board. <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: Any further discussion.by the members of the board? <br />(No response.) <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Anyone from the audience? <br /> <br />MR. FRlEHAUF: I don't want to take too much of your time. I want to <br />reassure all the .members of this board that the directors of the <br />Lower South Platte Water Conservancy District wholeheartedly support <br />this project. We haven't engaged in any wild campaign or publicity <br />for the project. We feel that it is a very viable pron~ct and the <br />facts of the project speak for themselves and speak well for the proj- <br />ect. The water conservancy districts supporting the project not only <br />consist of the Lower South Platte Water Conservancy District, but,also <br />the Central Colorado Water Conservancy District. We serve water users <br />in six counties. So it's not localized to benefit one area. I believe <br />your director has kept you very well informed on the facts surrounding <br />the project. I would like you to know we do support the project and <br />were very appreciative of ,this board's action in the past, and your <br />continued support will also be very much appreciated. Thank you. <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: <br />saying, "Aye." <br />next one. <br /> <br />.We will vote on the motion. All in favor signify by <br />Opposed, "No." Carried unanimously. Let's go to the <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />MR. SPARKS: The next project, Mr. Chairman, is the Fryingpan-Arkansas <br />project. We don't have a summary of that project in your folders <br />because it's an ongoing project, well along towards completion. The <br />budget request by the President is $39,000,000, and I have received <br />correspondence from Mr. Thomson, who is here today and is the manager <br />of the Southeastern Colorado Water Conservancy District, in which the <br />district expresses the opinion that the amount is adequate. <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: I don't think there's any action to be taken. <br /> <br />MR. SPARKS: Again, I think, only to approve. We have to present <br />testimony during the week of March 29. I will be leaving for Washington <br />on Sunday, the 28th. I think we do need to reconnnend to the Governor <br />and the Congressional Delegation that they support the president's <br />budget request for this project. <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: Well, I assume that we don't have a lot of motions. <br />Would the board agree that we consider the reconnnendations of the staff <br />on C through J, unless something comes up to the contrary? <br /> <br />MR. JACKSON: I would so move. <br /> <br />MR. FORD: I second the motion. <br /> <br />-7- <br />
