MR. GILDERSLEEVE: I MR. STAPLETON: MR. CLINTON: I report of the South Platte Steering Committee. Gil, are you' going to make that report?" "Mr. Chairman, I believe at the last meet- ing at Gunnison we reported that it looked as though there would be a meeting of. the Steer- ing Committee in September. But the studies have required a little more time and it appears now that it will be about the middle of October." "Anybody have any questions on that? All right, we'll now have the reports of the Federal agencies and inasmuch as I be- lieve copies of their written reports are in the folders, I would appreciate it if they could limit their remarks to about ten minutes each and then we'll have some questions I am sure from the members of the Board and the audience. So we'll start with Region 4, Mr. Frank Clinton. Mr. Clinton, it's nice to have you with us again." "Mr. Stapleton, members of the Board, guests, it's a pleasure to be back here again. It seems only a short time since your meeting at Gunnison when I gave you a rather lengthy report. You will note that we have a fairly short report this morning on our activities in Region 4. Our construction work has been going on this summer taking advantage of the good weather. We always have mixed emotions about which is best - good weather for construction or bad weather and moisture to fill reservoirs. Since we did get good weather this summer we are taking advantage of it on construction. The Glen Canyon Dam is moving along. The 1st of September we passed the 3~ million mark on cubic yards of concrete in place. The high- est blocks were up about 527 feet above bed- rock. The prime contractor had moved on the job the latter part of July and was getting well underway here by the 1st of September.
