Utah in the pas its costs or it 1445 N. 10 St. Manitowoc, Wis. 54220 Feb. 5, 1979 am still working hard on issues of the CUP of this group. Our challenges to the Bureau are making some impacts - both in Utah and I have spent a great deal of time providing all issues of the CUP to the Office of Budget, the Water Resources Council, Environ-on Agency, Dep't of Interior, and to key are Chairmen of Budget and Appropriations Thanks to efforts of elected officials of t, almost nothing is known about the CUP - s environmental impacts - in Washington. I have also kept key environmental groups informed of our CRCUP group efforts and the issues. The Environmental Policy Center, Washington, is the key leader in these groups in trying to stop dam projects. I keep in touch with him and then relate his advice to my Utah group. Our most effective effort, to date, is in trying to get the BuRec. to provide us written answers to our cost questionnaire on the Bonneville Unit. We sent this to Secretary Andrus last September and still have not been supplied answers I We are being stonewalled because the Bureau doesn't want the real costs to be known. I am trying to pursuade my Utah group to raise funds to send someone to testiry at appropriations hearings in Washington April 2 - 1 2 . They say they haven't the money to do this. This is unfortunate. This is why Utah's project doesn't get attention. I desperately want to go myself, and am trying to figure out ways. My husband is still in the hospital in Madison. He is improving, gaining stre ngth in his legs and arms - the hands are slower in responding. The Physical Therapy people have spasms in his right legt under some control through medicine so his walking is improving. And, there have been staffings recently to determine when he may return home. However, he will need outpatient therapy and still weeks and weeks of individual work on this for recovery. My son, who stayed In Jackson, Wyo., this year, after college graduation, came home for a month at Christmas. His Dad was home on a three day leave. This was a help to me since Mark then did some of the travel back and forth to Madison. I have .had some real bad times in blizzard conditions on these travels. I was completely snowed in the house last week and getting sidewalks and driveway cleared is a very expensive business. $17 the last job. |
