The Chairman reported also that he had attended the 1951 annual meeting
of the National Reclamation Association at Amarillo, Texas.

Referring to the Fryingpan-Arkansas Project, Chairman Kramer directed
that the state comments on the Project, as prepared by the States of Colorado
and Kansas, be included as part of the minutes of the current meeting of the
Administration. The two State com.~ents are attached to these minutes as
appendices.

Rep. Nevius submitted his report as Secretary. He stated that certified
copies of the Administracion's comments on the proposed Fryingpan-Arkansas Pro-
ject had been prepared and discributed as directed by the Administration.

He announced that a Colorado voucher for 'cl,923.82 had been received
by the Administration, such paJ~ent by Colorado thereby matching in full per-
centage the payments previously made by Kansas.

He said he had received from Rep. Stone a copy of a recommended letter,
to be signed by the Secreta~J and sent to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue,
to request tax exemptions for the Administration under Sections 3465, 3469 and
3475 of the Internal Revenue Code. It was explained that the expected reply
from the Commissioner of Internal hevenue would make the necessary official
record approving the tax exemptions requested.

The Secretary called attention to the requirement that the Adminis-
tration select the certified public accountant to make the annual audit of
the Administration financial records.
