Show 1445 N. 10 St. Manitowoc, Wisconsin 54220 December 6, 1978 Nelson W. Plummer Regional Director Bureau of Reclamation Federal Bldg. 126 S. State St. Salt Lake City, Utah 84111 Dear Mr. Plummer: I am responding to your December 5 phone call, a follow-up to one on November 29, in which you explained more fully your purpose in proposing a meeting with you and Citizens for a Responsible CUP (Central Utah Project).

The CRCUP Advisory Board informed me after their meeting that they request answers to our cost questionnaire in written form. They believe our questions have been based on sound economic principles, that they are relevant and justifiable as asked, and they wish to have them answered, as asked. These questions have been carefully formulated to provide the public adequate cost information to enable them to evaluate federally developed water for Utah. We do not |
