<br />Mr. Stapleton: Do members of the board have some questions? Si. <br /> <br />Mr. Berthelson: Darwin, part of the project is in Wyoming. What has <br />been the attitude of their congressional delegation and what do you <br />anticipate there in the future? Can you get whole-hea~ted support? <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Mr. Dunn: Senator McGee was the sponsor of the bill. Senator Hansen <br />is also very much behind us. l will say this, and maybe get in <br />troUble with the Savery people; we have had l think more support from <br />Colorado and we have been more informed through Felix's office and <br />through Roland Fischer's office than through Wyoming. The communique <br />came to me; I had to get a hold of the Savery people and tell them <br />that we had to come down here. Now, I am not knocking Senator McGee, <br />we went up there to Washington at one time and we said, "You know <br />about the Savery-Pot Hook . . .?" "Wait a minute'~ he said, "I helped <br />sponsor that deal." And he did. He is the one that helped get.us <br />the $250,000 appropriation. That came through Senator McGee's office. <br /> <br />Mr. Berthelson: One other thing I would like to ask. <br />most illuminating statement you made was the fact that <br />shortage of lawyers. I didn't realize that. <br /> <br />Probably.the <br />there was a <br /> <br />Mr. Dunn: I am talking mostly about the Pot Hook side. I go to.Craig <br />for my lawyers. There are several older lawyers there that are <br />planning to retire and the younger ones are trying to take up and <br />they just can't handle the load. <br /> <br />Mr. Be~thelson: Assuming you can get a lawyer, what do you anticipate <br />in the way of timing and getting the repayment contract completed, <br />six months or a year? <br /> <br />Mr. Dunn: I am going to tell you just why - I mean how do you go to <br />people and tell them, here sign this contract for repayment when we <br />don't have a project? And when we don't even have it started and the <br />money is frozen? We started it and I'll tell you what, it is a little <br />hard to do. It is kind of like backing up the door and asking for a <br />handout. <br /> <br />Mr. Berthelson: <br />out any money. <br /> <br />If they don't get any water, they don't have to pay <br />Somebody has to start somewhere. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Mr. Dunn: Yes, we are working on it. <br /> <br />Mr. Berthelson: Do you anticipate any difficulties? <br /> <br />-67- <br />
