Rep Dawson rejected Hosmer as an amateur stunt aimed at destroying trust in the Bureau of Reclamation. He noted dam site endorsements by Army Engineers and the Upper Colorado River Commission, plus the Bureau. The old California plan is accused of a water grab, with two Los Angeles geologists cited by Hosmer. Len Wallace called the Chinleshale mudding claim an eleventh hour effort to sway public opinion.
