UDALL, <br />SecreWr1J oj the In/en"'r, <br />Wa"hington, D.C. <br /> <br />DEAR ~IR. SECRETARY: This is in reply to your lett-cT of August 19, <br />1965, transmitting your report on the Closed Basin Division, San <br />Luis project, Colorado, and requesting advice T('garding the relfitioJl' <br />ship of the project to the program oC the President. <br />The Bureau oC the Budget no~{'s t.lllit the re\lOrt proposes that tlw <br />allocation to wnter salvage be made nonreim JUrsllble. The Bureau <br />understands that water made nvailable by the proposed project in <br />the mninstreum of the Rio Grunde would rnuke a slIbstuntlal contri- <br />bution to the improvement oC Colorado's debtor status undt'r the Rio <br />Grande compact. A review oC the legislntive history oC the compact <br />sugf!ests no Federal responsibility to meet the obli~ations oC St.utes <br />under the compact. In view of this, it would seem appropriate that n <br />repayment formula be proposed which reflects this Cact. \Vatt'r in <br />excess oC that required to assist Colorado in mCf'ting- its obligations <br />under the compact might be considered reimbursable under the <br />standards ~enerally IIsed on reclamation projects but subject t.o u <br />Secretarial finding thnt beneficillries can be identified. <br />The Bureau of the Budget would not favor lluthoriz!ltion of this <br />project as presently proposed Cor the reasons discussed above. How- <br />('vcr, should this report be transmit.t(.d to the Congress for its inCormn- <br />tion, the Bureuu requests that it.s views be included in your letter oC <br />transmittal. <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />PHILLIP S.
