However, Babbitt may raise the <br />issue to test the climate. In the event that the Governors give <br />consideration tQ the content and possibility of such a response, <br />attachment ~' sets out points to which we could or could not agree <br />at this time. You will note that the ones to wh ich I th ink we <br />could agree are very general and not inconsistent with positions <br />which we (i.e., Ival Goslin for the Development Authority) are <br />taking in negotiations on Narrows and Animas-La Plata. <br /> <br />Enclosures: as stated <br /> <br />gl <br /> <br />MEMORANDU M <br /> <br />-5- <br /> <br />2/22/83 <br />
