SPARKS: GOVERNOR JOHNSON: "~1e will reconvene this meeting of the Water Board. Just before lunch, Senator Johnson had made some statements. Senator, you had concluded this part of your statement hadn't you?" "Yes and no. Mr. Chairman, on the bench over here are some pamphlets. I picked up one a moment ago which is a prediction on the amount of water that the Colorado River, on the virgin flow of the Colorado River far into the future. It doesn't state on this circular whose prediction that is. I wanted to find that out. I'm not much of a guesser myself but I can't agree on the projected predictions contained in this pamphlet." "Senator, you are referring to something called a 'Draft Memo'?" "It says 'Draft Memo - Preliminary - Subject to Revision' and it's dated August 10th which is yesterday 80 it's very current." "I think we ought to be able to find the author. Larry, this was put out by you?" "This is a 'Draft Memo - preliminary - Subject to Revision'. This is a statement that has been worked out, primarily by engi- neers from both the upper and Lower Basin states, to summarize the range of studies that have been made by the various states. Instead of each individual state arguing about what its own water supply figures are, this is an attempt to answer Congressman Aspinall and to summarize the range .of the studies that were made by the various states." "All I wish to say, Mr. Chairman, is that I am in complete disagreement with the find- ings in this prediction."
