     The Department of the Interior has inforally advised us that the
 paymets mentioned in the article which appeared in the Deaver Post on
 September 15, 1978 (a copy of which you sent to us, and whdich ve are
 eturuing as you requsted), were made by EBLM to a4just in-lieu payments
 to Colorado to correct previous payents which vere based on Calendar
 year 1977 revenues, rather than on V7 1977 revenues, It appears, there-
