<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />18 <br /> <br />(very candid, with a sense of great potential historical loss) <br />I believe that we have made a failure thus far. <br /> <br />Mr, Caldwell: <br />(rises half out of his seat in an appeal not to lose hope) <br />It may not be nearly so hopeless as you think. I certainly would <br />like to suggest that Mr. Norviel and Mr. McClure do not take home to <br />their States the idea that they met here commissioners unwilling to be <br />generous and helpful. <br /> <br />Mr. McClure: <br />(grumpy, not seeming to catch that the Upper Basin states have a lot at <br />stake in keeping the talks going) <br />That is exactly the attitude we are getting. <br /> <br />Mr. Carpenter: <br />(Carpenter sounds like, ok, I've stated the position expected back home, <br />now let's get down to the real work) <br />I know that to some members of this Commission, this seems to <br />have been a fruitless conference. However, I am free to say - to me, <br />this has been a very profitable conference and we are nearer a <br />common accord than I expected when I arrived in Washington. I think <br />it would be the height of crime to the people who sent us here to <br />adjourn permanently now. <br /> <br />Secretary Hoover: <br />(yes, we can do it tone, let's go West) <br />I suggest the next meeting take place in the Southwest. <br /> <br />(11th Meeting, Bishop's Lodge, Santa Fe, New Mexico, <br />November 11, 1922) <br /> <br />Secretary Hoover: <br />(getting down to brass tacks) <br />I understand that two or three Commissioners have formulated <br />suggested agreements. (turning to Norviel) Mr. Norviel, for a better <br />understanding of your proposal, might we not reduce it to five central <br />18 <br /> <br />'.1 <br />
