<br />.lJ~(j <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: <br />DR. GARNSEY: <br /> <br />MR. SPARKS: <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: <br /> <br />know this to be true. All I am saying <br />is that basic research suggests that this <br />is a possibility, and the third aspeot of <br />our research program here will be direoted <br />in part toward trying to pin down the <br />reality and likelihood of this possibility. <br /> <br />I would like to point out that in I <br />this part of the researoh as in the others, <br />and I think particularly in this, a great <br />deal of support, far, far beyond the support <br />that we are talking to you folks about here <br />today, is already being received for the <br />support of this research. In faot the High <br />Altitude Observatory has been conduoting a <br />program of research in which we have been <br />spending about 75 or 100 thousand dollars <br />a year investigating these trends alone <br />but we have conoentrated our efforts on <br />areas east of Colorado. By undertaking this <br />portion of the researoh we are offering to <br />divert a portion of our efforts to solving <br />the problems that are most important to us <br />right here close at home but the effort and <br />the experience and the knowledge that we <br />have gained in the related researoh in other <br />parts of the oountry will all be immediately <br />available for support of this partioular <br />part of the researoh. I think that we face <br />the opportunity to do.. something that we have <br />never attempted to do before, to study in an <br />honest scientific way the most important <br />resource in the State of Colorado - the flow <br />of our streams. Thank you." <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />"Thank you, Dr. Roberts." <br /> <br />"We both would be glad to attempt to <br />answer any questions that the members of the <br />Board may have about our presentation or <br />about our written proposal and I suggest <br />that Dr. Roberts stand here by me near the <br />miorophone. Did you have a question, Mr. <br />Sparks?" <br /> <br />"No, I was just going to suggest that <br />you be here to answer any questions." <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />"I would like to have you discuss the <br />budget. Money is somewhat of a problem to <br />everyone and I'd like to know about the <br />
