the State line was computed as prescribed in Article III. Item C5, the Reduction of Debits
prescribed in Article VI. was computed in accordance with the Rules and Regulations.

as prescribed in the Resolution of the Commission adopted at the Tenth Annual Meeting, and
published in this report. Item NM4. Reduction of Debits by Evaporation, was computed in accordance
with the Rules and Regulations. The creation of a minimum recreation pool in Elephant Butte
