Show 3. if you wish, (UJ^I^^ uf-jta j ^ K.fi>uU*t/A. rs.c) I can see this kind of effort as expanding, occasionally. We could ask Dave Welch, in Arizona, to write some section on Arizona's tie in and water related issues - such as the fact that If the CUP is built, there will be Insufficient water for CAP. (I have other ideas, too, but let's start with this one!) PLEASE WHACK OUT SOME IDEAS ON THIS. ON YOUR TYPEWRITER, IF YOU WANT TO EXPLORE POSSIBILITIES, FIRST. IF THE NEWSLETTER IDEA APPEALS TO YOy AS PROPOSED HERE, GIVE ME SOME IDEA ON HOW YOU CAN SERVE OUR UTAH PURPOSE IN THIS. I'M NOT TRYING TO STEAL YOUR EPC ROLE OR FUNCTION, UNDERSTAND. RATHER, I'M TRYING TO EXPAND THE EFFECTIVENESS OF US ALL - WHEREVER WE ARE. And, if you think other Groups you arG^°jkingactively with on this issue of dam construction,^maybe^we^an'get contributions of ideas and efforts for our newsletter from them. (I'm terribly uninformed about what Groups are most effective in this area *f cv/iQfcv since I haven't had the money to join Environmental Organizations and find out what the heck they do do.' PROBLEM g 2 We need to get going on the Ute Indian Issue. I tried to start on this in mid-summer, but Cathy Collard, the Salt Lake City Attorney, who apparently has taken the lead on any Indian opposition, was tied up in a trial on the separation of Church and State. I called her September /st, as she had said to do, f and we'd get together, but the Judge had committed her to some «r tLr*i fol/ow up work after the trial concluded. I don't know wh^£- f(iAf>thls l s o r l f lt ls a dela.ying tactic. Anyway, she said she then $lt, M hadn't time to talk with me. She is the one who says she has uJ^H the d a t a w h l c h w i H "blow up the whole CUP". But what the hold- U/*» r^T ° up is, or when she'll act, I don't know. Apparently there are U> existing statements in the Bureau of Indian Affairs and in Interior p A AVJy^l t s e l f > v/hich indicates that recommendations were made against ^AM^, ^ >"^ the Deferral AgreementrI believe it is Collard's position, that T Mj^ full Ute agreement was not adhered to under these conditions. I <r* T can get some of this data for you or us through Jerry Kinghorn, J^A* • but I think we need to start working on this aspect of the issue. I have a feeling that it is the Indian situation - the Deferral l^fJ . Agreement plus the Ute demand for control of all recreation and ^AJkrf wildlife resources on all former Indian boundaries (entire northeast *^X *) Utah and all National Forest and BLM lands there) which may be tj^jw ' a deterrent to getting instream flows determined and the Uinta Range streams protected. I had planned to meet at Ft. Duchesne with the Tribal Directors - had I been able to stay in Utah. Still would do this if there was a need, as you se^Jlt^ani if I might get out there. (I still have a return flight*on UnitecTAvhich I can exercise.) And I could meet with the Governor at the same time - if you think such a meeting should be Initiated. We want him to set up a subcommittee to study Utah's water supply and management and conservation X n I ^ * &Tft ^ ^ L C^j^t <AA^„S^ ffj ^-U hu f fc f, <n tortcib^ |
