<br />1310 <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: <br /> <br />MR. -BARNARD,JI?: <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: <br /> <br />memberships. We think that the news- <br />letter should be in the hands of every- <br />body in Colorado, but we think that every- <br />body in Colorado ought to be interested <br />enough in the newsletter to pay the ten <br />bucks to get it. That's about the size <br />of it." <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />"I think that is being a little opti- <br />mistic. A lot of people are interested <br />but not ten bucks worth and what-I would <br />like to see - to me if I were a layman, <br />and I am in many respects, it would be <br />much easier to analyze the preliminary <br />report with the information here and if <br />it would be possible (I have raised this <br />question before with the Board and I have been <br />turned down), but I think with the Legis- <br />lature, at least while the Legislature is <br />in session and particularly with this <br />volume, is there some generous benefactor <br />among the sustaining members who could see <br />that the Legislators received copies during <br />the present session? I am sure there is <br />and I am going to count on it." <br /> <br />"There is this about it. In maintain- <br />ing the strength of the organization, we <br />feel it is also necessary to maintain its <br />autonomy and a decision such as that, as <br />far as I am personally concerned, I don't <br />want to be hyper-technical about it, but <br />it would have to be made by the Executive <br />Committee because we have adhered pretty <br />closely to the policy of only mailing, with <br />the exception of the newspapers, the newslet- <br />ter to members of the Water Congress. <br /> <br />Perhaps the Executive Committee, on the <br />recommendation of the Water Board, would go <br />into the matter again to see if an exception <br />could be made. That would be their decision <br />and not mine certainly and of course, if <br />there are any generous benefactors, we are <br />more than happy to have their support." <br /> <br />"Unless any of the members of the Board <br />disagree with-me, I will express the opinion <br />of the Board that we would like to have the <br />Executive Committee of the Water Congress <br />try and work that out. I think members of <br />the Legislature have already sacrificed <br /> <br />I <br />
