<br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Fruitland Mesa? I might say, Mr. Goldsmith, that I made some remarks <br />that apply also to projects that are not as far along as yours. We <br />are going to push those also. I rem~mber the Yellow Jacket project, <br />which is up in northwestern Colorado, which you may be familiar with. <br />Senator and Governor Ed Johnson was here for many meetings plugging <br />t~at. Those things and others are going to be considered. With this <br />~eeting we are not precluding the advancement of other projects too. <br /> <br />~tr. GoldsQith: Could I construe that as opening the door just enough <br />to let me mention that there is such a thing as the Grand Mesa proj- <br />ect in western Colorado and I hope this board will begin to get used <br />to that term after you get this big problem out of your way, Mr. <br />Chairman. <br /> <br />Mr. Stapleton: All right, thank you very much. <br /> <br />Mr. Goldsmith: We haven't persuaded you of anything else, but it <br />would be fair to assume that we have persuaded you that we really <br />want the Fruitland Mesa project. <br /> <br />Mr. Stapleton: You have done that adequately. <br /> <br />Mr. Goldsmith: Thank you. <br /> <br />Mr. Stapleton: Now we will go to the next one which is the Narrows. <br />Monte Pascoe will present that. <br /> <br />Mr. P~scoe: Mr. Chairman and members of the board, the Lower South <br />Platte Water Conservancy District appreciates this opportunity to <br />appear before you. We believe that the Narrows is a superior project <br />which merits the highest priority consideration and the earliest <br />possible funding. I shall try to relate to you why we believe this <br />to be so. <br /> <br />My name is Monte Pascoe and I have been counsel for the district since <br />its creation in 1964. I should like to state at this time, and many <br />of you are already aware of it, that I practice law with Mr. Stapleton, <br />the chairman, and I think it is appropriate and proper that people <br />be advised of this. The district's directors have asked that I make <br />this statement. We have circulated a statement to each member of <br />the board. For those in the audience, there are a few copies of the <br />~tatement over with the other papers here on the stage. We have a <br />number of persons present today from the area that will be served by <br />the Narrows project. I would like to introduce them to you. <br /> <br />-50- <br />
