<br />MR. SPARKS: <br /> <br />MR. PETERSON: <br /> <br />MR. SPARKS: <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: <br /> <br />MR. SPARKS: <br />MR. PETERSON: <br /> <br />"We are speaking of feasibility investiga- <br />tions. Reconnaissance is another scope. That <br />is a somewhat confusing thing. These projects <br />go through about four stages. First is the re- <br />connaissance. To do that we don't need a con- <br />servancy district although it would be helpful <br />if we had one. But after the initial reconnais- <br />sance is made, and that reconnaissance is made <br />merely to determine whether or not we should get <br />into a detailed investigation that we call a <br />feasibility or authorizing type of investigation, <br />and that's the one that costs the money. <br /> <br />Now on the Juniper we are about to complete <br />the first stage - that is, the reconnaissance. <br />After that is completed, if the project looks <br />feasible, then it is up to this Board to deter- <br />mine where the Juniper should fit in with these <br />other projects which are already past the recon- <br />naissance stage. A considerable amount of money <br />is now being spent on the Juniper for reconnais- <br />sance." <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />"Another question. Larry, this starting date, <br />or this completion date of the feasibility in- <br />vestigations as listed here does not contemplate <br />any funds from the State of Colorado. Is that <br />right? Only the Bureau of Reclamation funds? <br />In other words, could this completion date be <br />moved up ahead materially on some of these proj- <br />ects if the State of Colorado were to contribute <br />funds like they have in the past?" <br /> <br />"We have contributed money to every project <br />listed here, as I recall, now in progress. Of <br />course, additional money from the state would <br />advance these completion dates." <br /> <br />"But the answer is that the completion dates <br />that are here would have been later if it had <br />not been for the money we have already contri- <br />buted." <br /> <br />"That's right." <br /> <br />"You are speaking now of the ones 'in pro- <br />gress. Now I'm speaking of the ones that have <br />not started yet. In other words, let's take <br />Parshall up here to start in 1961 and to be <br />completed in 1964. If the state were to con- <br />tribute somenoney to the Parshall Project, per- <br />haps instead of being 1964 it would be 1962 or <br />1963. Is that possible? <br /> <br />I <br />
