Cof'fDan, Federal Power Commis- <br />sion, Chail'llBn; Mr. Jobn A. Short, Department of Agriculture; Mr. James <br />C. Bruce, Corps of Engineers; Mr. Kenneth D. McCan, Department of the <br />Interior; Mr. Leonard White, State of Arkansas; and Mr. R. M. Gildersleeve, <br />State of Colorado. Mr. C. E. Roberts, Federal Power Collllll1.sBion, acted as <br />Secretary . <br /> <br />Hydrologic coordination bas been a subject of study and debate for <br />a long period of time and mny specific attempts bave been mde in this <br />region and elsewhere to reconcile differences including several joint <br />agency studies. While these attempts bave met with varying degrees of <br />success in SOllIe phases, little has been accomplished in arrivinj!; at. <br />general acceptance of such results that were obtained insofar as some <br />of' the more 1m;portant and far-reaching items are concerned. <br /> <br />Tbe comm1ttee has considered its assignment and responsibilities <br />carefully, realizing that the subject of' study is not necessarily con- <br />fined to the AWR Basins but is of national scope. Therefore, it was <br />decided that the mtter should be approached on a rather broad basis. <br /> <br />As a first step 10 the studies coordination vas defined as bringing <br />about a cOIlUllOn action or condition in order to produce a state of <br />ha1'lllOnious adJustment or functioning. <br /> <br />So long as there is a variety of needs or proble1llB and more than <br />one individual or group involved, coordination becomes a factor in <br />consideration of any hydrologic problem. Obviously, when the human <br />element is cODsidsred, coordination to the full literal extent on such <br /> <br />C/l-l <br />
