Show River Storage Project," have been revised and republished to reflect changes to be made in the construction of proposed projects as the result of additional investigations and planning. Both of these publications are based upon the authorizing Act, P. L. 485, 84th Congress (70 Stat. 105). They illustrate and explain the major features in the initial phase of the Upper Colorado River Basin development. Negotiations are presently underway to secure two 13V2 minute films for use in our public information program. One film would highlight the reclamation features of the Upper Basin development and the other would emphasize the vast recreational values to the Nation to be derived from the Colorado River Storage Project and participating projects. The Commission's Relief Model of the Upper Colorado River Basin and adjacent areas has been on display in the State Office Building in Denver, Colorado for over a year. It continues to be a real object of interest, especially to tourists from other parts of the country. The Commissioners of our respective states and our staff have continued to actively urge the Department of the Interior and the Bureau of Reclamation to proceed as rapidly as efficiently practicable with investigations of additional participating irrigation projects and with the completion of definite plan reports and construction of projects currently authorized by Congress. The Secretary of the Interior is also being urged to certify the economic justification of the Curecanti Storage Unit on the Gunnison River in western Colorado in order that its construction may be started at an early date. The Upper Colorado River Commission is continuing the policy of cooperation with water organizations in all parts of the nation that have similar or mutual problems related to the orderly and progressive development of natural resources. Duringthe past year this policy paid real dividends. In conjunction with sponsors of other water-development projects in many other States, concentrated cooperative efforts resulted in the appropriation by Congress of initial construction funds for nine new reclamation projects, two of which were in the Upper Colorado River Basin, and 50-60 rivers and harbors improvement and flood control projects throughout the United States in spite of the rigid budgetary limitations imposed by the Bureau of the Budget at the beginning of the Second Session of the 85th Congress that would have prevented the construction of "new start" water-development projects. C. LEGAL In conformity with a recommendation by its Legal Committee, the Upper Colorado River Commission at the date of this report is negotiating for the service of a full-time Legal Counsel as a first step towards creation of a legal section to act for the Commission. 23 |
