River Project hearings lift optimism for six reservoirs plan
Senator Stringham and L Y Siddoway report tentative Senate approval of the Upper Colorado River Storage Project. The plan would authorize six reservoirs and 33 irrigation projects across Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, and New Mexico, with Echo Park dam and Central Utah Project excluded. CIO support and lobbying in Washington shift attitudes, though House hearings remain challenging. The report highlights testimony by Stringham Untermann and Smart, plus bids to secure letters and political backing to push the measure through Congress.
