. 3. Your analysis assumed that the historical sequence since 1933 l'lould be repeated; ours merely assumed that the trend of debits for the period 1950-1966 would continue. We believe oither assumption is reasonable. A feu comments about your analysis follow. Column 1 gives the project supply as shown in our draft report. It should be noted this is the gross supply and does not include the depletion of 5,300 acre-feet per year our studies provided for, tho Alamosa Wildlife Refuge. Column 6 lists the delivery of nonproject Hater. Figures in parentheses were obtained from tlle Reappraisal Report and wore used to compute the debit status of Colorado. !Imievel', the figures not in parentheses (amounting to 168,600 acre-feet for the period 1936-1952, and 302,200 acre-feet for the period 1936-1966) arc actually debit figures, which should be used in the computation of the debit status of Colorado. Since Colerado has actually decreased its dcbit status in the last few years, rather than increased it as lie assumed in our report, ,it seems reasonable at this time to expect Colorado to obtain debit-free status at sometime earlier than the 45 years stated in our report, if the project is initiated in the near future. He do not believe it Idll be quite as soon as the 17 years stated in your letter, but would probably be sometime between the two extremes. There are indications that hearings n~ay be held in connection with the proposed legislation during the second week in August. We believe it would be to our mutual (1,dvantage to fll'rther discus$ this matter \'lith you prior to that time. This Idll confirm the arrangements made by Mr. Bailey to meet \'lith you in your office at 9 :00 a.m. August 4 for that purpose. We appreciate your continued interest in this project.
