VANDEMOER Sterling March 15, 1977 2467 M E M 0 RAN DUM TO: Members, Colorado Water Conservation Board, Colorado Water Congress Executive Committee and Interested Water Conservancy Districts FROM: Felix L. Sparks, Director SUBJECT: Appropriation Hearings - Washington, D. C., March 28, 1977 On Monday, March 28, 1977, Governor Lamm and other governors of the Upper Basin states are scheduled to present testimony to the appropriate congressional committees in support of funding for recla- mation projects for FY 1978. The congressional committees strongly recommend that oral testimony be presented by only one witness from each state. I realize that some conservancy districts have already requested and received time to present oral testimony. I suggest that such time be yielded to Governor Lamm and that the Governor, in addition to his oral testimony, be requested to submit the written statements of the various districts in Colorado which have already requested time for oral testimony or which would like to have a written statement made a part of the record. In order to fully coordinate this testimony, it is requested that each conservancy district that has been allotted time to appear before the congressional committees inform me as to the time allotted and the person who is expected to present the testimony. I will then prepare a witness list for all those who wish to submit testimony and then request Governor Lamm to present this witness list and introduce the written testimony into the record. I need this information as soon as possible. The hearings at which Governor Lamm is scheduled to testify are as follows: 10:00 a.m., Monday, March 28, in Room 1114 of the Dirksen Senate Office Building - Public Works Subcommittee of the Senate Committee on Appropriations 2: 30 p.m. on the same day, in Room 2359 of the Rayburn House Office Building - Public Works Subcommittee of the House Committee on Appropriations.
