"We have had no word to that effect,
Mr. Nelson."

"There are rumors in at least two
branches of Government service that that is
being done and I wondered if it was going to
effect our program."

"We, of course have heard those rumors
but it has been difficult to pinpoint them.
If the investigation funds are cut back for
the Colorado River Storage project program,
it means that the State of Colorado, in order
to keep the present pace going, is going to
have to put up some money."

"The amount that I heard was being cut
back is more than we can afford to put up."

"Well, that's very true and in all
probability we are going to have to establish
a priority on certain projects to support to
the extent of our available funds. I think
it is a little early to say at this time,
because all indications I can get from Congress
on the sentiment of Congress is that there is
not going to be any cut back as far as they
are concerned."

"Any further matters that the Board would
like to take up? Are there any things that
any of our guests would like to bring up?
Mr. Knights, do--you have anything you would
like to say: at this time?"

"No, I believe not, Ben. Thank you."

"If not, I would like to then turn the
rest of the day and the rest of our )program
over to -- Dr. Chamberlain will you be hand-
ling this?"

DR. CHAMBERL/UN: "I will be in charge of the tour, yes."

MR. KNIGHTS:
MR. STAPLETON:

MR. STAPLETON: "This is the focal point of our meeting
today and I would like then to turn the
meeting over to Dr. Chamberlain and we will
now follow the directions of our hosts for
the rest of the day."
