This letter states in part, the feel- <br />ing of the people of this area in regard to the construction of Curecanti Dam. It <br />also expresses our feeling in regard to the Gunnison ?roposal made to protect <br />their interests. <br /> <br />If you would care for further information from our committee we would be glad <br />to send you further reports. <br /> <br />Very truly yours, <br />Carl H.

After individual <br />and group study of your Resolution, this Committee met on May 2nd and we may be <br />wrong in our interpretation of the Resolution, but we are unable to come to the <br />conclusion that the Resolution favors the construction of Currecanti Reservoir. <br />We are unable to find a recitation of any of the advantages of the construction <br />of this Reservoir, such as were outlined not too many.years ago bY,the Gunnison <br />
