If anything comes up In the future It will have to be an entirely different project and it will likely have to suffer the woes that eventually killed Kaiparo-wit- s, Mr. Ortega suggested. He was referring to regulatory problems, environmental problems, as well as financial problems. He cited the latter as the major reason for scrapping the project. Mr. Ortega explained what apparently happened In a breakdown of communications be- tween company officials, boards of directors, secretary of the Interior and others, which resulted in the stunning and unexpected announcement of the companies' withdrawal from the project. He said a list had been devel oped of key people who were to have been advised of the decision before public announcement had been made. However, following a visit to the Secretary of Interiors office by company officials, at which time they did not see the secretary, word leaked out somehow and tele- vision stations approached Mr. William Gould, and he had no alternative but to let the facts be known. Mr. Ortega explained that the companies Involved are also involved In exploring nuclear energy and that costs of two such projects was just too much. He said that the companies were entering the capital crunch, which looks Inevitable for this country, under present conditions, saying that there Is becoming a gap between the money needed and the money available.

Concerning the disposition of the coal leases and the water allocations, he stated that the companies' intent Is to retain the coal leases and as much water as Is possible. He said there has been some Indication that the companies can keep a small percentage of the water for development of the coal at some other time. Other possibilities touched on included gasification and liquidation of the coal for transport. He said the companies need to work out new plans. With several million dollars tied up in coal research they cannot afford to let it go unused. The power official said that his company Is involved in nuclear exploration in California and, if a vote In June by the people rejects nuclear power, "the next day 2,000 workers will be laid off. They will take the decision to the courts. He said they would have to do this out of responsibility to their stockholders.
