<br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />their efforts when they made the trip to Washington last year to plead <br />our case along with other projects. We also would like to acknowledge <br />the help given our district by Mr. R. C. Fischer and members of the <br />Board of the Colorado River Water Conservation District. <br /> <br />Last but not least, we would like to express our appreciation to our <br />Congressional Delegation for all the work that they have done in our <br />behalf and we beg them to uphold the request for funds made by the <br />President in his FY 1976 budget, and for their help in future years to <br />bring the project to a successful conclusion; also, that they work <br />hand in hand with the Colorado Water Conservation Board toward an <br />orderly funding program that will bring all authorized projects in the <br />State under construction and to an early completion. We certainly <br />want to include Congressman Aspinall and his help over the years. <br /> <br />Thank you. <br /> <br />Mr. Stapleton: Are there any questions of Mr. Shaw in regard to the <br />Fruitland Mesa Project? <br /> <br />Mr. Sherman: I do have one, Mr. Shaw. You have already been able to <br />work out a repayment contract. <br /> <br />Mr. Shaw: Yes, that has been signed since 1969. <br /> <br />Mr. Sherman: Thank you. <br /> <br />Mr. Stapleton: Thank you very much, we appreciate your coming. <br /> <br />I think we might have a ten-minute recess at this time, still with the <br />idea to reconvene and go straight through the agenda, and not have any <br />lunch break. We will play it by ear. <br /> <br />0Jhereupon, at 11:00 a.m. a ten-minute recess was taken.) <br /> <br />Mr. Stapleton: I would like to introduce Dave Crandall. Dave, will <br />you stand up. Dave is familiar with a great majority of the projects, <br />and we have asked him to come. He will be able to answer any questions <br />any member of the Board or audience will have. Dave, I appreciate you <br />taking the time to come. <br /> <br />The next project is the Fryingpan-Arkansas. <br /> <br />Mr. Adkins: I'm Ralph Adkins, a member of the board of directors of <br />the Southeastern Water Conservancy District. We have no statement as <br />such. I am pleased to be here as a part of the Colorado group. We <br />are pleased with the budget proposal for the entire state, and particu- <br />larly with the Fryingpan-Arkansas Project. If we can get these through <br />appropriations and get the money for continued construction at this <br />rate 'it will speed up the time at which we can get out of the way and <br />get on with some of the other projects that Larry was talking about <br />earlier, and get them moving. Thank you. <br /> <br />-27- <br />
