<br />The Water Development Association of Southeastern Colo-
<br />rado incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado as a
<br />non-profit corporation April 29, 1946.
<br />
<br />The Board of Directors and Officers of
<br />The Wa t e r Development Association of
<br />Southeastern Colorado are very happy to
<br />present in this brochure a resume of the pr""
<br />posed Frying Pan-Arkansas Project which has
<br />been taken from the preliminary report of the
<br />United States Bureau of Reclamation as
<br />approved by the Water Conservation Board
<br />of the State of Colorado, various federal agen~
<br />des which have worked with the Reclamation
<br />Bureau, and which has been transmitted to
<br />the affected states and agencies by The
<br />Honorable Oscar Chapman, Secretary of the
<br />Interior.
<br />
<br />This presentation comes as the cuboina-
<br />tion of seven and a half years' hard work
<br />extended by all of the various governmental
<br />agencies and your organization. It is made
<br />possible by the loyalty of the citizens of the
<br />Arkansas- valley and the contributions of water
<br />users associations, government entities, cor-
<br />porations, and a few thousand individuals.
<br />The amount of money contributed by various
<br />interested persons is accounted for in a brief
<br />summary presented by our secretary-treasurer
<br />on the last page of this brochure.
<br />
<br />The official report will, if the usual
<br />routine . is followed, be commented upon by
<br />the various states, including Colorado and
<br />many government agencies, by approximately
<br />August, 15. 1951. The report then goes
<br />through certain other channels such as the
<br />Bureau of the Budget and the executive of-
<br />fices - of our government before authorizing
<br />legislation can be introduced in Congress.
<br />Granting that authorization can be approved,
<br />there is then the matter of securing appro-
<br />priations-- from Congress with the approval of
<br />the Bureau of the Budget and executive
<br />branches ofl the government.
<br />
<br />This final step toward culmination of OUI
<br />dreams is not impossible of accomplishment in
<br />early 1952.
<br />
<br />This would be followed by final prepara-
<br />tion of plans, specifications, contract letting,
<br />and the formation of a conservancy district
<br />within the valle}, and the entering into of ,::fIt..
<br />repayment agreement between the-_ _ valley's t ~~':;!t'''"
<br />legal organization and the United States: i>-'P'~- A './ "'..
<br />Bureau of Reclamation. '. ~ ,:1 .....
<br />
<br />Let us all keep working for this goal, for,,..r:~. '?
<br />the dividends will be great. <~. # .....:::.
