MR. STAPLETON:

I have with me today the Chief Designing
Engineer of the Bureau of Reclamation, a man
who has had vast experience in the design of
irrigation structures, particularly dams. The
comparative estimates were made by the Chief
Engineer's staff with the designing done under
the direction of Oscar Rice. He is here with
us today. Oscar.

We also have Mr. Knights who is head of
our project investigations in Region 7 and a
man that has had many years of association
wi th the Narrows Unit. Mr. Knights.

The man who has worked, perhaps, longest
on the investigation of the Narrows Unit, a man
who is known to you very well locally, and our
engineer who has prepared the hydrology and
the plans and collected the field data for
the Narrows Project, Gus Greer. Gus.

We also have an engineer from our Irriga-
tion Operations Division in Region 7, Mr.
Wayne Whitcanack. Wayne.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman."

"Thank you, Pat.

Do any members of the Board have any
questions of Mr. Dugan or members of his staff
at this time?

from the citizens of the valley in regard to
these projects. Mr. Epperson has asked for
an hour and fifteen minutes, approximately,
for presentations by people representing his
point of view. Mr. Hamil, president of the
newly formed district, will certainly have
presentations from his board's point of view.

I don't want to lose part of the audience by
a lunch break. So we will continue, if we
can see our way clear, to see that the meeting
