<br />amounts of time reading and commenting on the report.

Their thoughts and comments <br />most of which have been incorporated into this final version of the report are <br />gratefully acknowledged as are the comments of Maryjo Downey, Executive Director <br />of the East Central Council of Governments and a regional program coordinator <br />during the project. Draft copies of the draft reports were also distributed to: <br />Senator Fred Anderson, Senator Tilman Bishop, former Senator Christian Wunsch, <br />Representative Robert Burford, Representative Forrest Burns, and former <br />Representative Paul Swalm. Their interest, time and comments to the report are <br />gratefully acknowledged as are the efforts of many other State government <br />officials, too numerous to name here, who took the time to either read the <br />report or distribute it for review to the appropriate personnel within their <br />departments or divisions. <br /> <br />Additional thanks go to Louise Dice of the Western Governor's Policy Office <br />who designed, laid out, edited and typed most of the tables and charts which <br />appear in the report and Phoebe Lawrence who typed the entire final draft. <br />Thanks to Ginny Cox, Mary Hermosillo, and Janet Bronstein who typed most of the <br />rough draft. Thanks to the employees of the Division of Local Government who <br />gave up their conference room for a few months for the preparation of this <br />report. And, finally, thanks to the innumerable State, local and federal per- <br />sonnel who had been involved in the drought project and were willing, months <br />after the fact to submit to telephone interviews at various odd hours during <br />their autumn work days with an anonymous researcher asking questions about their <br />activities in a project which had ended months before. <br /> <br />ii <br />
