<br />The neport of Clifford H. Stone, Director of the Board and Chairman
<br />of the Policy ~nd Review Committee (First Stage Gunnison-Arkansas Project),
<br />dated June 15, 1950, is attached hereto as Appendix B.

<br />
<br />Foll~Ning receipt of Appendix A by you and submission of the Board
<br />action evidenced thereby to the Commissioner of the Bureau of Reclamation,
<br />Washington, D. C., this office was advised that the Commissioner took ex-
<br />ceptions to certain provisions of the operating prinCiples contained in the
<br />Report of the Policy and Review Committee. There followed a series of con-
<br />ferences resulting in a revision of certain of the operating principles
<br />acceptable to the Drafting Subcommittee of the Policy and Review Committee
<br />and the Commissioner of the Bureau of Reclamation. Acceptance of such re-
<br />vision by the Commissioner is shown by a letter, dated Janua~J 23, 1951,
<br />addressed to me as Director of the Colorado Water Conservation Board. (See
<br />pages 14-16, inclusive, of Appendix C hereto attached.)
<br />

<br />
<br />On the 9th day of February, 1951, a meeting of the Color~do Water

<br />operating principles. At that time there was submitted to the Board a
<br />report by Jean S. Breitenstein, attorney for the Board and Chairman of
<br />the Drafting SubcoMIT~ttee of the Policy and RevieH Committee. (See Appendix
<br />C above mentioned.) At t~is Board meeting, after considerable discussion,
<br />it was agreed to postpor.e Action on this matter until Februaro' 22, 1951.
<br />This postponement was to enable consideration of the entire matter by the
<br />Colorado River i'later Conservation District Board and the South\':estern Water
<br />Conservation District Board, official water organizations created by State
<br />'-law'to -represent,.'{estern ~Colorado-interest6'.--' --, -, -~- '-'--
