<br />~:: f' ,- t <br />.L'h; .: <br /> <br />20 <br /> <br />91 <br />July 1958 until January 1960.' On December 30, 1959 the <br /> <br />eight new Operating P~inciples were agreed to and approved. <br /> <br />They followed the oriB~nal Operating Principles except Ruedi <br />92 <br />Reservoir was to repla~e A3pen n03ervoir. <br /> <br />In 1960 for the first time the Fryine;pan-Arkansas <br /> <br />Project had the support of Wayne Aspinall and it seemed like <br /> <br />clear sailing, since the &st-\ofest problems were over, and <br /> <br />legislation was again ~tarted in 1961 but the bill aBain died <br />93 <br />in the Rules Committee. <br /> <br />To achieve pllssaBe of the bill in Congress a number <br /> <br />of items were started which would help the Project in Congress. <br />The first activity was an educational program in which people <br />who lived in Colorado 1)Ut had business interests in other states <br />would write their Cong;essmen in the other states asking for <br />their support of the p:roject. A second method was to send people <br />to Washington to lobby for the bill who were very influential, <br />such as the Governor of Colorado, Chairman of the National Demo- <br /> <br />, <br />I <br />i <br />I <br /> <br />cratic Committee or Republican Committee, retired Congressmen, <br /> <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />President of the League of Women Voters or any person who had the <br />power to see a Congressman personally and speak knowledgably <br />on the ?ry-Ark Project. The third method was to keep a careful <br /> <br />tabulation or record of the votes of the Congressmen and how <br /> <br />they had voted in certain years concerning the project.
