<br />(2) A similar wall map for mounting in each member' 5 headquarters, port- <br />ability of little consequence; and (3) A smull hand~out type of map for . <br />information and public relations purposes, details of coverage to be con- <br />siderably greater and to a higher degree of technical accuracy than for <br />the wall maps. The Committee was directed to investigate the various <br />methods available to best satisfy these needs and to mwte subsequent <br />recommendations to AWRBIAC. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />After considerable investigation of existing maps and possible <br />processes for producing a new map, the Ad Hoc Committee recommended as <br />follows to. AWRBIAC at the May meeting wi th respect to the wall map for <br />Committee meeting use: Considering both portability and cost, the map <br />should be prepared on nylon to permit folding into a small package for <br />ease of transporting. The map base is to be taken from the new.Arrrry Map <br />Service Strategic Map with a scale of 1/500,000, which would result in a <br />.map approximately 8 by 10 feet in size. Coverage will include existing <br />and authorized projects, both federal and nonfederal; state boundaries; <br />principal cities near projects; stream and drainage bas~ns; and an indica- <br />tion. of topography through shading. The Committee further recommended <br />that the work be done by one of the Federal agencies that is a member of <br />AWRBIAC and equipped to do such work, and that a technical committee com- <br />posed of the Corps of Engineers lllld the Departments at' Agriculture and <br />Interior be designated to work with the technicians assigned to produce <br />the map to assure proper and complete coverage as work progresses. The <br />Ad Hoc Committee estimates the cost of the map to be $1,000.00 to <br />$1,200.00, such cost to be prorated among the Federal agencies. <br /> <br />The recommendations of the Ad Hoc Committee were unanimously accepted <br />by AWRBIACj and the Corps of Engineers with assistance t'rom the Bureau of <br />Reclamation was designated to produce the map. Preliminary plans with <br />respect to technical processes have. been explored jointly by the Corps ot' <br />Engineers and the Bureau of Reclamation, and work on the map is scheduled <br />to start in July 1956. . <br /> <br />The Ad Hoc Committee reported, with respect to the other two map needs, <br />a wall map for members and the desk or h8J1d-out type map, that further in- <br />vestigation was necessary before recommendations could be made. Detailed <br />study is now being given to these tlfO items and the Ad Hoc Committee expects <br />to make recommendations early in the year 1956-57. . <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />Two ad hoc committees were appointed by the Acting Chairman, E. V. <br />Lindseth, Department of Interior representative, at the New Orleans meeting <br />on March 8, 1956. The Ad Hoc Committee on Hydrological Coordination com- <br />posed of the Federal Power Commission, Chairman; the Corps of Engineers; <br />the Departments of Agriculture 8J1d Interior; and the States of Arkansas ~~d <br />Colorado, was given as its specific function and assignment the duty and <br />responsibility to: (a) Ascertain the facts with respect to the areas of <br />conflict in hydrologic coordination that developed during the course of the <br />preparation of the AWR Report; (b) Analyze such facts and endeavor to <br />sharpen issues that developed; (c) Ascertain the facts with respect to the <br />present status of research programs under way to determine the effect of <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />7 <br />
