<br />Mississippi River during recent years. Ad hoc committees were appointed <br />on Hydrological Coordination and Economic Base Survey; : and an amendment <br />to the Articles of Orgo.nization and Procedure was adopted. This amendment <br />related to the preparation and submission of an annual progress report. <br />Section 2 Article VIII of the Articles provided that: "An annual progress <br />report shall be presented at the March meeting of each year." Because the <br />Committee's operations are set up on a fiscal year basis, and due to the <br />formative stages in which the Committee has been operating, it was felt <br />that the March 1 date was premature and further that the Committee should <br />not be bound to one specific annual progress report. In consequence <br />thereof, Section 2 Article VIII was amended to read as follows: "Periodic <br />reports of activities shall be prepared as deemed necessary by the <br />Committee and not less than one per year." For the year 1955-56 it was <br />decided that a report dealing with the activities of the AWRBIAC as a <br />whole should be prepared by the Administrative Committee as of June 30, <br />1956, and be presented to AWRBIAC at its July 1956 meeting. <br /> <br />The May meeting included talks by the following: Honorable Clarence <br />A. Davis, Under Secretary of the Interior, who discussed the Report of the <br />Presidential Advisory Committee on Water Resources Policy; Dr. Russell G. <br />Dressler, Southwest Research Institute, San AntoniO, Texas, who presented <br />information on recent advances in reservoir evaporation control; and, <br />Dr. Irving P. Krick, President, Water Resources Development Corporation, <br />Denver, COlorado, who presented a paper on "Heather Modification in Theory <br />and Practice."

The Department of <br />Agriculture was elected as Chairman Agency for the year 1957-58; and the <br />Department of Health, Education and Welfare ~ the State of Texas were <br />elected for membership on the Administrative Committee for the year <br />1956-57. The Administrative Corrunittee for 1956-57 will thus be composed <br />as follows: Department of Interior, Chairman; Departments of Agriculture, <br />and Heal th, Education and Helfare; and the States of Oklahoma and Texas. <br /> <br />PART D. <br /> <br />ADMINISTRATIVE COMNI'I'I'EE <br /> <br />The Administrative Corrunittee was established at the November 16, 1955, <br />meeting of AWRBIAC in Tulsa, Oklahoma, ,in accordance with the provisions <br />of the Articles.
