POBOX 2530 <br />BILLINGS, MONTANA 59103 <br /> <br />December 1B, 1970 <br /> <br />Memorandum <br /> <br />To: <br /> <br />Federal Members and State Alternate Members of MBIAC <br /> <br />From: <br /> <br />Chaiman, MBIAC <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Subject: <br /> <br />Revision of MBIAC Charter <br /> <br />Under date of November 9, 1970, I forwarded to you a copy of my letter <br />of October 8, 1970, addressed to the Director of the Water Resources <br />Council and a copy of his reply of November 4, 1970. I also advised that <br />this subject would be presented again to the Committee during its business <br />session on December 10. <br /> <br />During the discussion of this subject during the Committee meeting on <br />December 10, each member or his alternate who was in attendance commented <br />on this subject. Mr. Summers presented to the Committee a draft of a <br />letter addressed to the Executive Di.rector of the Water Resources Council <br />in which it was recommended that item 5(b)(2) of the draft of the charter, <br />which had been deleted by the Water Resources Council and reads as follows, <br />"Prepare and keep up to date a comprehensive coordinated joint plan for <br />Federal, State, Interstate, local, and governmental development and manage- <br />ment of water and related land resources," be ir..corporated in the charter. <br />It was also recommended that item 3(c), pa~e 3 of the draft of the charter, <br />be revised to read, "The State members of the Committee shall be the <br />Governors, their designated representatives or designees as specified by <br />State law." <br /> <br />It was agreed by the Committee that I would forward the draft of the <br />attached letter to you and request your comments on the reviaed charter <br />and the proposals incorporated therein. It ia suggested that your comments <br />be forwarded to me on or before January 15. 1971. I will attempt to recon- <br />cile any c~nf1icting suggestions that might be contained in your comments <br />and if successful will then transmit the letter to the Executive Director <br />of the Water Resources Council. If such reconciliation is not possible, I <br />will delay further action and again submit this subject to the Committee <br />during our next meeting. <br /> <br />,/kud/ </ #~~~ <br />" <br />Harrell F.
