In other words, things are working pretty well, but <br /> <br />uniformity is needed, not a pessimistic view of don't conduct demonstration or <br />operations on some sectors or regions because we need more research and develop- <br />ment. Also, one could say let's not create volumes and volumes of zero hourly <br />input to justify one more high level regulator agency~: <br />let us back off a little at this point, before a void is created at my office <br />in Las Cruces.

The Council will work on' proposed Federal legislation, if and when <br /> <br />asked. In fact, it has already advised some of a rough draft for, a national <br /> <br />effort in cooperation, coordination, development, and control of weather <br />
