<br />00267 <br /> <br />UPPER SOUTH PLATTE UNIT <br />STEERING COMMITTEE <br /> <br />September 4, 1974 <br /> <br />Mr. James J. 0' Brien <br />Acting Commissioner <br />U ,S. Department of the Interior <br />Bureau of Reclamation <br />Washington, D.C. 20240 <br /> <br />Dear Mr. 0' Brien: <br /> <br />The "Report on the Upper South Platte Unit" prepared by the Steering Committee, <br />is being forwarded to your Lower Missouri Regional Office today. <br /> <br />The Executive Committee, as noted in Mrs. Pollock's letter of July 22, 1974 <br />to Mr. Stamm, agreed to this procedure, rather than a separate public release <br />of the Steering Committee's report. In this way, its' contents, statements, and <br />opinions can be reviewed in context with the feasibility study report when the <br />two reports are simultaneously released. Mrs. Pollock, a'nd some others, felt, <br />however, that the Committee's report should be released immediately. <br /> <br />I would note, in response to your letter of August 19, 1974, that, with our report <br />in hand, your regional office can proceed with completion of the feasibility study. <br />Meanwhile, as agreed by the Executive Committee, the summaries of points of <br />view in Section II and the statements in the Appendix could be released or used <br />by the authors as they choose, since the Committee Report is not represented <br />as a consensus, or recommendation as such, but is essentially a compilation of <br />member contributions. <br /> <br />The Steering Committee was formed at the invitation of the Bureau of Reclamation, <br />and the Committee's report is being presented to the Bureau, as is appropriate. <br />Thus, it is the Bureau's report, and you may release it now, or simultaneously <br />with the feasibility study report, as agreed to by the Executive Committee of the <br />Steering Committee. <br /> <br /> <br />~f <br /> <br />Sincerely yours, <br /> <br />Alan L. Foster <br />Chairman <br /> <br />ALF/nl <br /> <br />,;'.:...:,,; ~-;:;'..;:- ." .'.:~ <br /> <br />~~~~>:;{~.~:: <br /> <br />:or:;::.g;;~~~ <br /> <br />-, <br />.. , <br />:.:- - ."----:,. <br />
