<br />377 . <br /> <br />reme Court of the State of Colorado and in another law <br />suit pending in the United States District Court for the <br />District of Colorado. It would be improper for this Board <br />to attempt to invade the process of the courts or to in- <br />fluence the pending litigation. The Board has no intention <br />of doing either. The feasibility of the proposed Denver_ <br />Blue River diversion depends, among other things, .on the <br />outcome of this litigation, or on some alternative thereto <br />which satisfactorily protects the Colorado-Big Thompson <br />Project. (Upon the conditi.on that the legal availability <br />of a reasonable quantity of water for the Denver-Blue <br />River diversion be established, either by litigation or <br />some other arrangement, and the connition that such pro- <br />ject be otherwise feasible, the Board approves the Denver- <br />Blue River Project for inclusion as a participating project <br />in the authorization of the Colorado River Storage Project <br />or for such other Federal legislative or administrative <br />action as may be requested by Denver. J <br />" <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />12. The Board recommends that Denver and the re- <br />presentatives of.the West Slope in Colorado make ever,y <br />effort to arrive at a harmonious solution of the unfortunate <br />transmountain diversion controversy which for years has <br />created dissension in Colorado. The Board pledges that it <br />and its staff will be ready to assist in the amicable settle- <br />ment of this prolonged conflict. <br /> <br />13. The Director of the Board and the Colorado member <br />of the Upper Colorado River Commission are directed to do <br />all things necessary and proper to effectuate this resolution. <br /> <br />14. Copies of this resolution shall be forthwith <br />transmitted to the Governor of Colorado and to the members <br />of the Colorado Congressional Delegation. <br /> <br />Mr. Bailey: "I should like to express this thought: The Western <br />Slope people will be doing a great disservice to their own people if <br />they continue with their announced program. I trust they will think <br />long and hard before they do that". <br /> <br />The meeting adjourned at 5:00 P.M. <br /> <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />./ <br />/ <br /> <br />':'r~.~h" <br /> <br /> <br />~" , '. \ j <br />~ " <br />~:; / <br />/ <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />~ Asst.
