<br />I <br /> <br />MR. NELSON: <br /> <br />MR. SPARKS: <br /> <br />MR. CHRISTY: <br /> <br />MR. SPARKS: <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />MR. NELSON: <br /> <br />MR. SPARKS: <br /> <br />141~ <br /> <br />have looked at it and are familiar with it <br />are very reluctant to construct a reservoir <br />on that site." <br /> <br />"1 would like to ask a further question, <br />this being in my domain so to speak. There <br />has been some argument and differences over <br />the Fryingpan Bill as it existed at the end <br />of the session. What version of the Fryingpan <br />Bill would probably be submitted when Congress <br />is in session again, the old version or the <br />version that was in existence at the end of the <br />session ?" <br /> <br />"1 don't believe that the version that <br />was in existence at the end of the session <br />would be acceptable. Now whatever bill is <br />reintroduced, again we are going to have to <br />establish some new operating principles and <br />the bill will have to be in conformance with <br />those principles. The original bill was in <br />conformance with those principles and too many <br />amendments were tacked on. I expect that with- <br />in the 'next few weeks we are going to have to <br />reconstitute a committee to again review those <br />operating principles which means representatives <br />from the Colorado River Water Conservation <br />District, representatives from this Board and <br />representatives from the Southeastern Water Con- <br />servation District. Those principles that will <br />be adopted will be in the bill and I don't <br />believe we can permit any further amendments <br />that are not stated in the operating principles." <br /> <br />"Mr. Sparks may I add to that - you mean <br />not a new set of operating principles but some <br />modifications. Modifications in line with the <br />agreement which you are able to get." <br /> <br />"That's correct. They would have to be <br />modified in view of the storage other than the <br />Roaring Fork. This replacement reservoir would <br />have to be included in these operating prinicples." <br /> <br />"Then the entire efforts that encompasses <br />the bill, the engineering and everything is all <br />going in cooperation - you are not going off <br />with one, leaving the other one behind." <br /> <br />"No." <br />
