<br />
<br />President Nichols read a letter from U. S. Representative Frank E. Evans relative to
<br />Hearings held by the Public Works Subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee
<br />outlining his grave concern over the possibilities of getting increased appropriations due
<br />to the proposed $6 billion dollar cut in over-all appropriations in fiscal 1969. Nichols
<br />stated qe and general Manager Thomson worked closely with Congressman Evans and
<br />U. S. Senator Peter Dominick in the preparation of Statements in support of an increase
<br />over the $12, 6 recommended by President Lyndon B, John SOIl. but that due to the critical
<br />fiscal situation facing the United States, he shares the concern of Congressman Evans.
<br />Christy suggested the Board go on record expressing its appreciation to Congressmen
<br />Aspinall and Evans, and Senators Dominick and Allott, for their continued efforts to ob-
<br />tain adequate funding for the Fryingpan-Arkansas Project. Shoun moved. seconded, by
<br />Dilley, this expression of appreciation be extended to the Senators and Representatives.

<br />PIPELINE STUDY REPORT:
<br />
<br />Engineering Committee Chairman Ciruli introduced Dwight Sayles and Robert Yarabeck
<br />of the Firm Black and Veatch. and Si Elliot of Elliot and Associates, who gave an in-
<br />depth report on material and statistics gathered relative to the proposed municipal and
<br />industrial pipeline between Pueblo and Cities in the Valley. Mr. Sayles reported that all
<br />of the data gathered is the result of meetings with water authorities in the m~cipalities
<br />and water user associations, and that the figures had been checked with the U. S. Bureau
<br />of Reclamation, He outlined preliminary recommendations and suggested that the Eng-
<br />ineering COp:lmittee meet with the representatives from the Firm to review specific ite!l}s
<br />to be included in the report. The report then would be submitted to the Bosrd of Directors
<br />for final action. Several Directors asked questions regarding the recommendations, par-
<br />ticularly with reference to the difference between the cost of the pipeline with Lamar in,
<br />and with Lamar out.
<br />
<br />CSU REPORT:
<br />
<br />James Doyle and Don Miles of the Colorado State University Extension Service gave a
<br />very preliminary report on their plans to have an Irrigation Engineer assgined to the
<br />Arkansss Valley when funds are made anailable by the Colorado State Legislature. Both
<br />observed that the goal will be to get the maximum use of the existing water supply in the
<br />Arkansas Valley. and to assist the Southeastern Colorado Water Conservancy District in
<br />being sure that the supplemental water provided by the Fryingpan-Arkansas Project can
<br />be put to its most beneficial use, Both agreed that the Pueblo Reservoir will play an
<br />important role in the ultimate utilization of native as well as imported water, and felt
<br />that Legislation now being developed under Senate Bill 407 should go a long way toward
<br />insuring that the Arkansas Valley will be able to enhance its over-all economy through
<br />the approp.riate use of water resources. Doyle stated this report was given at this time
<br />in order that the Directors might be made aWare of studies now being conducted by Colo-
<br />rado State University.
<br />
<br />Meeting adjourned for lunch.
