<br />RECORD OF PROCEEDING
<br />
<br />Center at Phoenix. Arizona. fJe felt from the comments of those who participated
<br />in the tour on March 29. 30, and 31.. that the Analog and the Officers in charge thereof
<br />are doing a fine job of developing statistical da~a which will provide answers to specific
<br />questions in the future. He stated that officials of the OSGS make no administrative
<br />decisions but do provide answers to specific problems. Christy suggested that futUl:'e
<br />publicity should publicize the fact that all Board members except two have seen the
<br />Analog. He also reported that the State of Nevada has won several critical water law
<br />suits on the basis of the data provided by USGS and the Analog. CiruJi commented that
<br />the Analog is a long way from being complete but we are fortunate to have as much
<br />data as they have.
