<br />he was unable to come up with a comparison, a <br />statement of comparison, between the two systems <br />for the reasons which I have stated there. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Since the question has arisen, the Commis- <br />sion has never asked Mr. Goslin to make such a <br />report. I told Mr. Goslin, and asked him if <br />he remembered that on May 11th we did ask for <br />such a report and he said 'Yes, I remember that <br />you did'. But we got no written report. When <br />I went out to Salt Lake in July - on July 17th <br />I spent all afternoon with Mr. Goslin and his <br />staff and at that time he pointed out again the <br />great difficulty that he had in trying to pre- <br />pare something for us in the way of a comparison <br />between the two systems. While I got a lot of <br />figures from the staff and they were very help- <br />ful to me, I did not get, and I have not been <br />able to get from anyone, very much in the way of <br />comparative tables that both sides would agree <br />upon and I think that is one of the sad features <br />of this whole thing. Anyway it was sad to me. <br />It caused me many hours of diligent digging and <br />studying, trying to corne up with information and <br />proposals that both sides could agree upon and <br />would agree upon. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />It seemed to me that this matter was very <br />simple. So far as I was concerned it resolved <br />itself into this - I wanted to find out about <br />the Basin Fund; I was not interested and I <br />didn't care anything about the power fight <br />between the REA people and the Bureau on the one <br />hand and the utili ties on the other. That fight <br />did not interest me. What I wanted to find out <br />was, what was going to happen under both systems <br />to the Basin Fund out of which we must build <br />participating projects? And a good many of our <br />participating projects are not feasible without <br />a considerable contribution out of that Basin <br />Fund. That's the thing that I was interested <br />in. <br /> <br />There's one other thing that I haven't been <br />able.to become too excited about and that's <br />transmission systems fifty and sixty years away <br />from now. It's my personal believe, and my <br />
