"Which member of Congress introduced
that one? Can you tell me?"

"Mr. Aspinall."

"Mr. Aspinall. Mr. Byron Johnson has

"I understand that Roger Chamberlain
signed this report too. Is he in with you?"

"Dr. Chamberlain is present."

"Do you wish to have him say anything?"

chief of the Colorado State University Re-

charge of the meteorological analysis here
on this campus working with Dr. Schleusener
the meteorologist in his division. Mr.
Chamberlain."

contracts with the Soil Conservation Service
and the U. S. Weather Bureau to put onto
punch cards and analyse in a comparable manner
to what is proposed here, certain aspects of
it anyway, 15 stations for the eastern part
of Colorado. This job has been pretty well
done. So what we want to do now is to project
our experience over onto the western side of
