                       LOWER COLORADO RIVER


Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee:

     We are pleased to be here today to discuss the actions taken

by the Bureau of Reclamation this summer in responding to flooding

of the Lower Colorado River.

     Concerned about the flood damages that occurred, the Chair-

men, House Subcommittee on Environment, Energy and Natural

Resources, Committee on Government Operations and House Committee

on Interior and Insular Affairs and eight other Congressmen--James

V. Hansen, Duncan Hunter, Ray Kogovsek, Jerry Lewis, Alfred A.

McCandless, Howard C. Nielson, Harry M. Reid, and Bob Stump--

asked us in late July to develop information on the events that

led to this summer's flooding and the operating criteria followed

by the Bureau in determining the amount of water to be released

from its reservoirs.  We briefed the requestors on the results of

our work on August 31 and September 1, 1983.

     To meet the 5-week timeframe established by the requestors,

we made a limited analysis of the Colorado River flooding.
