from the Congress usually don't come on the
1st of the fiscal year and it may be as late
as September before we get the money. There-
fore, you have lost the major portion of your
summer season for investigation work. That's
the difference. And if you can be -prepared to
do something with this money in that advance
time, that's Where it would help. That's
another reason why I say that $2~,000 is almost
a minimum for a year, particularly if you are
contemplating not only this coming fiscal year
but the like time in the succeeding fiscal year
which maybe occasioned by late appropriations
from Congress."

MR. MILLER:

"Well, I think when we go back to our
organizations and say we want the money, they
will want to know 'Are you going to get anything
done?' Let's say we go to the Henrylynn Board
and ask them for $1,000, they will want to know
what they will get for the $1,000."

MR. KNIGHTS:

"That is always a particularly difficult
question on investigations because it isn't like
going to the grocery store and buying a sack of
flour; you can see it, take it home and use it;
but on investigations, for that kind of money
put up by various organizations, there is very
little that we can show to them and say here is
exactly what you bought with your $1,000."

MR. MILLER:

"What would you feel, Jim, would be a mini-
mum effective amount that we would need for
Two Forks if we are going to do something?"

MR. KNIGHTS:

"If you wanted a total, without any other
supplement, I'd say $25,000, Dave. But it was
pointed out here in the discussion earlier that
there are possibilities for other amounts of
money and those are unknown so it makes it very
difficult to say how much in addition to those
because we don't know what they are. I think
there will be some work done on Two Forks re-
gardless of whether or not that particular
$25,000 shows up because we have some means,
some basin money, to do some things with and
