<br />I <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: <br /> <br />MR. SPARKS: <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />U~.J..J <br /> <br />on the Upper Colorado region. Much of the <br />basic data that is being collected from <br />Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah <br />will be utilized in both studies. The Type <br />IV study will go into more detail than the <br />Type I, especially in the report segments <br />which deal in problems and needs and the <br />programs that are available to meet the <br />needs of the basin.

One of the most disheartening <br />things that we discovered at that time was <br />that there was very little development <br />taking place under Public Law 566 (Depart- <br />ment of Agriculture) and under the Small <br />Reclamation Act under the jurisdiction of <br />the Department of the Interior. After <br />trying to ascertain some of the causes it <br />was obvious that there was a lack of local <br />knowledge concerning these programs. The <br />people in the Soil Conservation Service <br />have been doing a yeoman's service and the <br />same with the Bureau of Reclamation, but <br />
