<br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />~u~ <br /> <br />MR. MOSES: <br /> <br />"This brings up a previous problem <br />on which I will confess I don't quite see <br />eye to eye with a great many of you. We <br />are a policy making group. We should see <br />which projects we want to push first, get <br />those projects' studies made and definite <br />plan reports completed so that they will <br />be ready to go to the Bureau of the Bud- <br />get and then turn them over to those whose <br />responsibility it is to get the money. <br /> <br />I don't think it is the function of <br />this Board to determine the amounts that <br />should be requested from Congress each <br />year." <br /> <br />Governor McNichols made his entrance and was brought <br />up to date on what the meeting had covered up to this time by <br />Vice-Chairman Moses. <br /> <br />MR.

CRAWFORD: <br /> <br />''We are to have Mr. Larson's report on <br />that now." <br /> <br />Mr. Larson then asked Mr. Holmes to pass out to each <br />member a copy of his letter to Mr. Crawford and a map and chart <br />of the proposed Curecanti project. Mr. Peterson asked about <br />whether or not the Bureau of Reclamation, on their investiga- <br />tions of Colorado's rivers, took into consideration individual <br />projects. That in looking at the overall river, there were <br />spots not being taken into consideration. Mr. Larson replied <br />that generally speaking the Bureau was taking the overall river <br />into consideration. <br /> <br />Mr. Larson read the following letter: <br />
