TIle collllll1ttee was cOlllposed at' the States of Arkansas and Colorado, the Federal Pover COIIIIII1.se1on, the Departments of Agriculture, Army, and Interior. Mr. E. S. Coftman, Federal Paver Collllll1ss1on Re- presentative, served as Cllairman of the Co_Utee. TIle Collllll1ttee submitted its formal report at the July meeting in Colorado Springs, Colo., but action by AWlUllAC vas deferred until the next meeting to permit thorougll study at' the report and the recom- mendations. In its report the Collllll1ttee identified t'ourteen pllases or aspects of hydrolog;( or hydrologic lI.Dll.lysia which partiCularly require coordination in order to obtain comprehensive planning and development at' a watershed. The Committee concluded that these could be divided into three categories With respect to method or manner of achievement; five which could be resolved at the local level by the agencies con- cerned and/or with coordination by AWRBlAC; four would require resolution in Washington by the respective departments, perhaps througll action by ICWR; and the remaining five can be resolved at the local level, contingent upon action from higher autllority on the preceding four items. Further, the CoDllD1 t tee found tlla t a number of studies llave been made, are under vay, or are proposed in the general area of effects of upstream reservoirs upon dovostream water yield. It commended the attention of AWlUlIAC to these studies and to the reports and results thereof as they are forthcoming. At the September meeting at Sequoyah State Park, OklahollB, AWRBIAC adopted the report of the Ad Hoc CoDllD1 ttee and discllarged the Comm1ttee as llaving fulfilled its assignment. A copy of the report vas transmitted to the Chairman of the Inter-Agency Committee on Water Resources With a letter calling specific attention to those aspectl ot' the problem ot' hydrologic coordination requiring action and resolution at the Washington level and requesting consideration and advice from the Inter-Agency Committee on Water Resources. At the May meeting in Fort Worth, Mr. M. LeBosquet, Jr., Secretary of the Inter-Agency Com- mttee on Water Resources, reported tllat study llad been given to the Ad Hoc COIIIIII.1ttee report by the staft' and by a special group of the Subcommittee on Hydrology.
