L. Application 174.15 - Request action be with-

Mr. Girard made a motion that the applications on the
Carson and Walker systems, upon which the Nevada Commission had
recommended action be delayed or withheld, be referred to the
Walker River Committee or the Carson River Committee, as appro-
priate, for whatever action the committee might recommend. Mr;
Girard further moved that this Board be asked to withhold action
temporarily on these applications. The motion was seconded and
carried without objection.
Mr. Muth made a motion that action on the Tahoe and
Truckee Basin applications as recommended by the Nevada Commission
be affirmed by the joint commission and that this Board be
notified of the action. The motion was amended to include that
this Board be notified that progress is being made toward final
settlement of the allocation of water between the states, and
that the final compact may be accepted in approximately four
months. This motion also carried.
The writer had the understanding that the Joint Com-
mission meant to clear Applications 17719, 17766, 18704, and
18705, but was in doubt as to whether the recommendation of "no
interest" in Applications 17719 and 17766 had been ratified by
the Joint Commission. The writer asked for verification of his
understanding of the various actions outlined above. This was
confirmed by the Chair and a number of commission members.

Subsequently, the matter of progress toward reaching
an agreement upon permit terms to be included in the Watasheamu
applications of the Bureau of Reclamation was discussed. It was
stated by Mr. Richards that the project was being further studied
and it appeared likely some revisions in the project, particularly
as to size of reservoir, might be recommended: Mr. Devore stated
that progress upon the final permits will await a report from the
Bureau of Reclamation.
Other matters discussed at the meeting were of only in-
cidental interest to the Board.
