COLORADO 80631 (303) 353.6123 <br /> <br />October 24, 1985 <br /> <br />Honorable Hank Brown <br />U.S. House of Representatives <br />1510 Longworth House Office Building <br />Washington, D.C. 20515 <br /> <br />Dear Congressman Brown: <br /> <br />It is our understanding that the 99th Congress, First Session wll I be <br />scheduling a hearing on HR 3547, the Cache la Poudre River Wild and Scenic <br />Designation BII I. We support the efforts of those who want to preserve the <br />environmental values and those who want to develop the potential water sites <br />at reaching compromise language which now Is your proposed BII I. <br /> <br />ThIs letter serves as an endorsement of HR 3547, and we hope that this can <br />be entered Into the record during the hearings. We feel that the compromise <br />proposal finally reached after years of negotiation Is the best solution to <br />the controversy which has surrounded your attempts at designation. The <br />proposed Bt I I Is a true ccmpranlse In that It saves 15 of the river's 1\3 <br />miles for designation while leaving open two potential water storage sites, <br />Including those sites necessary for the prospective Cache la Poudre <br />Project. Both sides should be commended for their perseverance In reaching <br />this ccmpromlse. <br /> <br />It Is the Crty of Greeley's Intent, then, to endorse this Cache la Poudre <br />River Wild and Scenic Bill which you have proposed. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />Mike Lehan <br />Mayor <br /> <br /> <br />ML/ld <br /> <br />()~\' <br />
