DR. CHAMBERLAIN: "I don't know whether I want this
to go on tape or not. What we will do from
here is that first of all I will give you a
summary of the program that we have under
way in civil engineering, particularly as it
relates to water, then Dr. Dils will give you
a summary of the program for which he is res-
ponsible and with which he is associated,
particularly the Rocky Mountain Forest and
Range Experiment Station, and so on.

Those programs in civil engineering and
research are organized under two programs the
experiment station and our CSURF. The deiinea-
tion between these two structures is simply
this: that under the experiment station we
receive money partially from the State and
partially from the Federal Government. Under
the CSURF aspect of it, the Colorado State
University Research Foundation, we administer
all of our work that is done for outside agen-
cies on contract or grant basis. In other
words, for the moneys that we have available
for research under CSURF, we get out and sell
our capability in the way that you saw this
morning, for example.

Under this operation we have a series of
programs that I will touch on in passing and
then come back and give you brief detail. I'll
give you the location of the support for the
programs, where we get our money in other words,
some background on the ,staff that we have avail-
able and engaged in this work and then some
closing remarks.

Coming back to the programs that we are
engaged in, they can be divided up as follows:
l. Alluvial Channel Hydraulics. This program
is concerned primarily with hydraulic aspects
of all types of channels where the bed or bound-
aries of the channel can be expected to move
or erodei due to the action of rain drops, the
stream f ows, run off, etc. .

Then we have another program under our
category of General Hydraulics. Under General
Hydraulics we include such things as the work
we are doing on the Titan Missile, the pyro-
genics field. We also include the work we are
doing on dredge pumps, the transport of gil-
sonite, such things as this.
