<br />478 <br /> <br />MR. BAILEY: <br /> <br />"One time Charlie Patterson, who used ' <br />to be Engineer for this Board, told me <br />that he thought in this the Wyoming claims <br />were padded quite a lot. He said if the <br />case'were re-opened, Colorado might do the <br />same. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />MR. ROBERTS: <br /> <br />"One other matter which has been suggested-- <br />I do not know if I agree with it--and that <br />is that lhis case has been before the Court <br />four different times and that Colorado may <br />have other cases before the Court, such as <br />the Arizona-California case, and we might <br />get to that litigation on the Rio Grande, <br />and the thought suggested was that if we <br />went back on this case, the Court might <br />become impatient with Colorado and not be' <br />too friendly with what we say in the other <br />cases. I am not too impressed with that." <br /> <br />"We discussed that in our meeting yesterday. <br />That possibility is quite out of line with <br />my thinking about that Court and its be- <br />havior. I really can't imagine any Court of <br />the United States forming a prejudice to <br />any State in the Union for such a reason. <br />I can't see any hazard of exhausting our <br />credit with that Court or of antagonizing <br />that Court with any presentation the <br />Attorney General might make." <br /> <br />MR. BAILEY: <br /> <br />"The personnel of the Court has changed. <br />They do not have the same judges as <br />before." <br /> <br />MR. ROBERTS: <br /> <br />"I feel that of all " the points outlined' <br />in your letter to us, that is the one <br />that should least deter us." <br /> <br />MR. BAILEY: "I feel the same way." <br />MR. ROBERTS: "From a lawyer's point of view, that just I <br /> doesn't happen. " <br />MR. BAILEY: , . "Do you have any comments?" <br />
