<br />Interviews with Committee of Fourteen Members

<br />::
<br />
<br />After the Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Forum reviewed the draft of this rC!pOrt; the
<br />members asked the author to interview six former members of the Committee of Fourteen who
<br />had taken an active role in advising the Brownell and his Task Force in 1972-73:
<br />
<br />~~
<br />
<br />. Floyd A. Bishop, who served as Wyoming State Engineer from 1963-74.
<br />
<br />,'"
<br />,
<br />
<br />. Myron B. Holburt, who joined the Colorado River Board of California in 1965 and
<br />served as its Chief Engineer from 1968-84.
<br />
<br />~
<br />
<br />,
<br />,
<br />,
<br />
<br />. Daniel F. Lawrence, former Director of the Division of Water Resources, State of
<br />Utah, a position he held from 1967 until his retirement in 1985.

<br />
<br />. Raphael J. Moses, who became a member of the Colorado River Water Conservation
<br />Board of Colorado in 1952 and served as its Attorney from 1959-76.

<br />
<br />. Steve Reynolds, State Engineer and Secretary of the New Mexico Interstate, Stream
<br />Commission from 1955 until his death in 1990.

<br />

<br />The interviews were to elicit their reactions to the draft report and their recollections of the
<br />events that led up to the negotiation of Minute No. 242 and the passage of the Colorado River
<br />Basin Salinity Control Act.
<br />
<br />"
<br />
<br />Sadly, Steve Reynolds died before we could arrange an interview, although he had seen thedraft
<br />report and made handwritten notes. I have reproduced these all-too-briefnotes in this Appendix,
<br />with references to points in the report indicated.

<br />
<br />Phone interviews with the other five former Committee members, ranging in length from 35
<br />minutes to 1-1/4 hours, were conducted in May-July 1991. The interviews were semi-
<br />structured, as the Forum had suggested a number of open-ended questions, but our discussions
<br />ranged over a variety of topics. On the following pages, I have recorded my notes of these
<br />interviews in narrative form, using each person's words as much as possible. Each one has
<br />reviewed his narrative for ,accuracy; any remaining errors are the fault of the author.
