<br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />1<S1<S <br /> <br />MR. BARNARD, SR.: "I don't think so. I think the position <br />it takes is well known. Our resolution made <br />it pretty clear that we are depending on that <br />compact and we are not going to willingly per- <br />mit any use of water in excess of the compact <br />commitment. That is the gist of the thing. <br />They know what our position is already." <br /> <br />MR. PETERSON: "If there is nothing in there of a secret <br />nature, I see no reason why the press should- <br />n't have it made available, the information." <br /> <br />MR.

If not, thank you very much <br />John. We appreciate your great efforts and <br />I'd like to come back to Mr. Barkley and his <br />question he posed to us and that's the ques- <br />tion of the recodification of the reclamation <br />laws of the United States which the western <br />states are now attempting to do, particularly <br />by Colorado, with emphasis on the needs and <br />protection that we feel are necessary in <br />Colorado. <br /> <br />Mr. Barkley has recommended four promi- <br />nent attorneys from all sections of the state <br />to work on this problem and I'd like to ask <br />again, do you have any forecast of what it <br />will cost so that we can budget these matters?" <br /> <br />MR.
