The time for <br />final decision cannot be postponed any longer." <br />"The Narrows Project will provide great benefits to the <br />people of Colorado for generations to come. Opponents of the project <br />concede that regulation of the lower South Platte River is desirable, <br />but argue that the dam should be constructed at some other location. <br />In view of the already excessive delay in constructing this much needed <br />conservation and flood control project, I firmly believe that any <br />further delay would seriously. jeopardize or perhaps destroy the oppor- <br />tunity for further congressional approval of channel regulation on the <br />lower South Platte River. Based upon the best information available <br />to me, a reformulation of the project at this time poses a risk which <br />is not acceptable." <br />And the Governor added, "The distressing aspect of this and <br />other similar projects is the displacement of the people in the <br />reservoir area. I am requesting the responsible federal agencies and <br />directing the responsible state agencies to take every possible action <br />to insure that this displacement occurs with the least possible dis- <br />ruption of the lives of the people involved." <br /> <br />-2- <br />
