<br />~ 1'1" . <br />4L~O i. 'cC FRYlNGPAN-ARKANSAS PROJECT, COLORADO <br /> <br />Mr. OGILVIE. That is exactly right. Ruedi Reservoir as a re~- <br />lating reservoir on the western slope will provide for the protectIOn <br />of exist.ing downstream rights. It will also provide future use <br />of water on the western slope through development of lands, by ilTi- <br />gation or municipal aRd industrial or any purpose they might see fit <br />to use the water for. <br />Mr. KINo. 'lYe are talking, of course, about waters that all go into <br />the Colorado Ri vel' essentially, <br />Mr. OGILVIE. Yes. <br />Mr. KINO. And all of this is within the water allocation of Colo- <br />rado under the Colorado River Compact, is that right! <br />Mr. OGILVIE. Yes, sir, this is all within the allocation of Colorado <br />water. <br />Mr. KING. Thank you. <br />MI'. SAUND. Will the gentlemaR yield! <br />Mr.HALEY. Yes. <br />Mr. SAUND. May I make a request, Mr. Cbairman, that Mr. McFar- <br />land show to the committee members the documents in regard to this <br />legislat.ion which we are supposed to refer to! <br />Mr. ROGERS. Does the gentleman from California mean at this time 1 <br />Mr. SAUND. Just show us the size of those documents, what they <br />are. No. 187, 83d Congress, and then the supplemental hearings that <br />have been held since then which we are supposed to refer to. <br />Mr. ROGERS. Those are available, Mr. Saund. Do you have them, <br />Mr. McFarland! <br />Mr.PALMER. 'lYe have them here. <br />Mr. McFARLAND. I have copies of all of the documeuts, Mr. Chair- <br />man. <br />Mr. ROCERS.

I have them, but I want the new members to see what <br />they are supposed to study and what will not be brought out in these <br />hearings now. <br />Mr. ROOERS. Let. the record show now tbat if anv of tlie new <br />members desire these doeuments, they are available to them.. If you <br />want them displayed at this time, there is no reason they should not be. <br />Are you throl1O'h with your expln.nntion~ ~ir. Ogilvie ~ <br />lvIr. OOIL\'1E.1 would like to carryon down streflm. I got t.o <br />Salidn. where the water reverts to the riyer. The water rroes~ down <br />~ <br />the Arkansas River to our primary storarre l'rsetO\Ooir a.t Pueblo and <br />that is where the terminal re!!ulat.ion O~CU1's. The water will b(~ <br />released from this reservoir af the appropriate time for irrigation <br />llse, and for municipal and industrial use on down the stream, to tlH~ <br />lands in this area, extending from Pueblo all the way down here in <br />the vicinit.y of Los Animas. On this side they will extend a little <br />below. <br />In this area where you see the dist.riet. boundaries outlined, I would <br />like to poiut out there are no new irrigated acres bein!!: brollght in <br />by this project. This project, is to pro"Hle supplemental water to an <br />acreage that is already llTigated inadequately. <br />
