<br />l<SU~ <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />to do this year. In the budget proposed <br />for the next fiscal year, I believe that is <br />also sufficient. Generally, that is pretty <br />much in line with what we had this year. <br />The lifesaver was.that $50,000 special tech- <br />nical fund that we had. It can only be ex- <br />pended with the approval of the Governor. <br />Without that fund we couldn't have car- <br />ried on anything that we are now doing. <br />We have been very conservative with that <br />fund, trying to stretch it over this year <br />and I think, without any reservation, that <br />we can go ahead with this study and imple- <br />ment it to some extent with the funds that <br />we now have. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Now this study is actually being car- <br />ried on in two parts. To begin with, I <br />wanted to try to get different opinions from <br />people who have had some experience with <br />this subject already. Mr. Barnard has been <br />carrying on his investigation in connection <br />with the Investigation Commission and the <br />Colorado Water Congress. Separate and apart <br />from that, although I have been trying to <br />coordinate it, Frank Delanv and myself and <br />Governor Johnson have also been working on <br />the problem. <br /> <br />The conclusions to date"are remarkably <br />uniform. We have been trying to develop <br />'every possible phase of this problem that <br />we could'be faced with and to find the ans- <br />wers at the present time. A great deal of <br />progress has been made. Within sixty days <br />we should be able to finalize a report. It <br />will have to be a continuing operation there- <br />after as new problems arise but nevertheless <br />we hope to have the basis upon which, at <br />these forthcoming conferences, these inter- <br />state conferences, we can have the technical <br />assistance there so that we are not completely <br />floored as we were at the Washington confer- <br />ence and the Las Vegas conference in 1957. <br />At that time we had not the faintest idea as <br />to what the p~oblems were all about. <br /> <br />I have now furnished the people who are <br />working on this problem with copies of a memo- <br />randum prepared for the Board by Jean Breiten- <br />stein, now U. S. Circuit Judge, in 1947, in <br /> <br />I <br />
