Show APPENDIX G UPPER COLORADO RIVER COMMISSION 748 North Avenue Grand Junction, Colorado March 8, 1957 Dear Governor Simpson: At the February 28, 1957 meeting of the Upper Colorado River Commission, Mr. L. C. Bishop, State Engineer of Wyoming and Wyoming's representative on the Commission, announced that he would retire on April 1, 1957. The Chairman and Federal representative, Mr. R. J. Newell, Commissioner John H. Bliss of New Mexico, Commissioner George D. Clyde of Utah, and Commissioner Frank Delaney of Colorado voted unanimously to thank Mr. Bishop for his long and faithful service, not only to your great State of Wyoming, but also to the Upper Colorado River Commission and to all four States represented. The above gentlemen, their advisers, and the guests present were of one mind in their praise for Mr. Bishop and their regret that he will no longer be a member of the Commission. Having known him for almost twenty years, and having been associated with him with respect to work in Teton Basin, negotiations of the Snake River Compact, early negotiations of the Columbia River Basin Compact, and currently as an employee of the Upper Colorado River Commission under his direction, I can assure you that I have a very deep personal regard for Mr. Bishop. He has always represented his State with dignity. His straightforward attitude and good judgment on innumerable occasions have proved to be one-hundred percent honest and reliable. In many instances his advice and example have been of great inspiration. -100- |
