(If this letter, found in a midwest YMCA, helps one boy and one Dad, it is well worth publishing. ) Dear Dad . . . I am writing this to you, though you have been dead 30 year. From your seat in the Place Beyond I hope you can see these lines: I feel I must say some things to you, things I didnt know when I was a boy in your house, and things I was too stupid to say. Golden Eagle Passports, which will admit the holder to hundreds of recreation areas throughout the United States, are available at seven Bureau of Reclamation offices in Region 4, Director David L. Crandall announced today. The passports may be purchased at Room 6223 Federal Building, 125 South State Street, Salt Lake City; or at Bureau of Reclamation offices in Grand Junction and Montrose, Colo; Page, Ariz.; Duchesne, Ogden, and Provo, Utah. Cost of the GolJen Eagle Pass- port remains at last year. I must have been a bitter trial to you. I believed my own petty wisdom, and I know now how ridiculous it was, compared to that calm, ripe wholesome wisdom of yours. Most of all I want to confess my worst sin against you. It was the feeling that I had that you did not understand. When I look back over it now, I know that you did understand. You understood me better than I did myself. Your wisdom flowed around mine like the ocean around an island. And how patient you were with me! How full of long suffering and kindness. And how pathetic, it now comes home to me, were your efforts to get close to me, to win my confidence, to be my pal! I wouldnt let you. I couldnt. What held me aloft that wall that rises I dont know. But it was tragic frantic attempts their and between a boy and his father it. to see through it and climb over I wish you were here now, across the table from me just for an hour, so that I could tell you how theres no wall anymore; I understand you now Dad, and, God! how I love you and wish I could go back to be your boy again. I know now how I could make you happy every day. I know how you felt. Well, it wont be long, Dad, till I am over and I believe youll be the first to take me by the hand and help me up the further slope. And Ill put in the first thousand years or so making you realize that not one pang of yearning you spent on me was wasted. It took a good many years for this and all sons are in a measure prodigal prodigal son to come to himself, but Ive come. I see it all now. I know that the richest, most priceless thing on earth, and the thing least understood, is that mighty love and tenderness and craving to help which a father feels toward his son. For I have a boy of my own . . . And it is he that makes me want to go back to you and get down on my knees to you. Up there somewhere in the silence, hear me, Dad, and believe me. Runoff For Colorado River 6.9 Million Acre Feet April-Jul- y Provable runoff for the Colorado River above Lees Ferry for the April-Julperiod will be or ribout 6.9 million acre-feet- , 81 percent of normal, the Bureau of Reclamation announced today. y This forecast is based on the seasonal accumulation of pre-ci- p tation to Apiil 1 at 58 stations and April 1 snow data at 48 snow courses within the watershed area, and presumes normal precipitation during late spring and early summer. The April 1 forecast of 6.9 is down slightmillion aers-fee- t 7 m.a.f. from the predicted a ly month ago, and is 1.6 m.a.f. below the long-timaverage of 8.5 m.a.f. for the runoff period. If the amount fc recast is realized, Lake Powell above Glen Canyon Dam will rise to about elevation 3,541 feet above mean The sea level by lake should remain near this level during the remainder of the year and into winter. of About 1 million acre-fee- t runeff should originate above Flaming Gorge Dam. Of this amount, over 200,000 acre-fee- t will be stored in Fontenelle Reservoir. The remainder will flow into Flaming Gorge Lake, raising its level from 5,990 feet above m.s.L at present to 6,000 early in July. This small rise and subsequent slow descent will assure a stable lake for rece mid-summe- reation purposes. On the San Juan River, Navajo Lake should receive 650,000 bringing its elevation feet above m.s.l. to feet by July 1. Lake level will then remain near the higher elevation throughout the summer. Runoff forecast for the Gunnison River watershed above the . Curecanti Unit is 550,000 The bigger reservoir, behind Blue Mesa Dam, should rise from its present 7,435foot elevation to about 7,490 fee above m.s.l. by summer. Morrow Point Reservoir is now about 189 feet deep at the dam (lake level 6,954) and should fill to elevation 7,000 by late July. The lake behind Fontenelle Dam, on the Upper Green River in Wyoming, is now at elevation 6,460 feet above m.s.l. and is rising slowing toward a forecast elevation of 6,500 feet by the end of the summer. Fontenelles 10,000-kgenerator has been in stalled and will be operated when the lake elevation reaches minimum operating head. Lake Mead on April 1 was at elevation 1,133 feet above m.s.l or about 1 foot higher than a year ago. The reservoir is now 88 feet below the top of the raised spillway gates at Hoover Dam. The lake will rise about 1 foot in April, another foot in May, and another foot in June, reaching elevation 1,136 feet above m.s.l. It will remain at tlris elevation through August. The lake at present contains acre-feet- agencies and do not come under provisions of the Golden Eagle program. Tl.a Passport is valid for a full year starting April 1.

Counting ground, air and naval personnel directly involved, there arp well over 600,000 American military personnel engaged in Vietnam and tens of thousands more being readied for act'on. 2. We have now lost more than 20,000 American lives and cur wounded are many times that number. 3. Aircraft losses in Vietnam are horrifying. We have lost (through March 12) 2,007 fixed-winplanes and an additional 1,489 helicopters for a total of 3,496. Compare there figures to aircraft lost during all of the Kcrean conflict: 3,031. 4. It is not correct to say that present policy in Vietnam is based upon prior commitments made by Presidents Eisenhower and Kennedy. In fact, both Eisenhower and Kennedy recommended against our country getting directly involved in a land war in Asia. When Ike left office, there were 700 American military advisers in Vietnam. At the time of the Kennedy assas- organ- izations. Booklets listing designated fee areas and explaining "Operation Golden Eagle are also available at sales outlet points.

Today, there are no wage and price controls in South Vietnam. Widespread corruption is a way of life. Until March 1st, South Vietnam had never draft and they ed any still wont draft G. The war, in terms of treasure, new costs us close to $30 billion annually. 7. The war has seriously divided our people. Discouraging as these farts are, there is one further fact that ought to be weighed more carefully by more people. That fact is: WE ARE THERE! All the debate, all the demonstrations cant alter that. What we must now ask ourselves is, where do we go from here, and how can we best get there? Frankly. I have none of the glib, cute, pat answers that a few of my Congressional colleagues now seem to have. S nce September of last year I havp had before the Home a : resolution ca'ling for a examination by the Congress cf our policies and prac-t'cc- s in Vietnam. Although that resolution has yet to be acted upon, a sort of de facto is now being undertaken at a number of levels, both in and out of government. This is a much-needeand healthy thing. Some dissenters have even urged Congrei s to vote to shut full-seal- eff military appropriations, thus forcing the return of American troops. This I cannot do and will net do. It would be a tragic error to force a helter-skeltwithdrawal. Whatever our future course is to be, it must be one based on reason and orer der. I fervently hope that President Johnsons peace efforts are succeg.ful in bringing about an honorable settlement to an in creasingly discouraging struggle. In order to get the peace effort moving, he has made a real personal sacrifice. We all, I am sure, wish him well in his new peace offensive. One thing we should have learned as a nation from this experience is contained in a thought expressed by President Kennedy. He said, We must face the fact that the United States is neither omnipotent nor omniscient that we are only 6 per cent of the worlds population that we cannot impose our will on the other 94 per cent of mankind that we cannot right every wrong or reverse each adversity and therefore there cannot be an American solution to every world problem.
