Also enclosed is a detailed explanation of the decisions reached and the actions taken on the collective comments made by the Governors of the Upper and Lower Division States of the Colorado River Basin. The series of five major task force meetings and the many subtask group meetings extending from July 25 to November 24, 1969, played a large part in shaping the background for the proposed operating criteria which were sent to the Governors by Secretary Hickel's letter of December 16, 1969. This same background and the comments of the Governors of the Upper and Lower Basin States contributed greatly to guiding the recommendations to the Secretary on the criteria now being published in the Federal Register. Your participation in those deliberations is appreciated, and I take this means of expressing a personal "thank you." Sincerely, ELUS L ARMSTRONG Ellis L.
