<br />Salt Lake City and Denver, were presented. All <br />in writing, signed by the various presidents or <br />vice-presidents of those companies. These <br />letters then satisfied the objections of the <br />New Mexico delegation pertaining to release of <br />the resolution. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />upon return from their conference with Mr. <br />Patterson in the Argonaut Hotel, Commissioner <br />Johnson and Governor Clyde both stated that the <br />Public Service Company of Colorado was 'greatly <br />disappointed'that the original resolution had <br />not been adopted but that they would accept the <br />resolution as amended. The Secretary, Mr. IvaI <br />Goslin, then read a prepared proposed telegram <br />by which he would inform the congressional dele- <br />gations of the Commission's action. The general <br />tenor of this telegram, and I do not remember <br />the exact wording, was as follows: <br /> <br />'The Upper Colorado River Commission today <br />adopted a strong resolution in favor of the com- <br />bined transmission system as proposed by the <br />investor utility companies' or words to that <br />effect. New Mexico representatives immediately <br />objected to any interpretation of the resolution <br />by the Secretary. This objection was sustained <br />by the Commission and the Secretary was in- <br />structed to immediately wire the interested <br />congressional people giving the entire contents <br />of the resolution. <br /> <br />Immediately after the adjournment of the <br />executive session, the meeting was open to the <br />public. In open session the resolution was <br />formally adopted. Members of the press then <br />asked whether or not the Commission had solicited <br />the new proposition as presented by the various prt- <br />vate power companies. Governor Clyde answered by' : I <br />stating that the Commission had not. A further <br />question was asked as to whether or not the <br />Commission members had met during the day with <br />any members of the Public Service Company of <br />Colorado or the investor utility companies <br />representatives. Governor Clyde again answered <br />by stating that the Commission had not so met <br />with any representatives. Both answers by <br />Governor Clyde were false. <br />
