July 13. 1988 - Page 3 Nielson takes action on dams and clinic According to Howard C. Nielson's Hold manager Ronald R. Chittenden, Congressman Nielson has taken action or is setting into motion, several proposals to problems in the Basin and other areas of the state. The proposal that is drawing the most attention for the Basin is the congressmans efforts to get a bill into congress to complete the two water storage projects prom ised to the Ute Tribe and the Batin, as part of the water deferral agreement signed in 1965. According to Crittenden, the congressman is proposing a bill to extend the ceiling on the funds for the CUP so that not only can the Bonneville Project be completed, but also the eommitmente to the Ute Tribe and the Uintah Basin can be fulfilled. Current the congressman is the bill in diacue-km- s with the tribes attorney, local water users and government officials with the BIA and CUP, Uintah and Duchesne Counties, in determining exactly what items are part ofthe original obligation. Crittenden said that definitely the Upaloo and Uintah (or Whiterocks site as the Uin tah m ay be unsuitable) water storage projects are part of that original obligation. Apparently both the bills "fine-tunin-g" 0s . unnecessary advertisements and junk mail The average American then they subject themselves to court enforcement action by the U.S. Government sends material, that in your own According to information personal discretion, is considered from the Postal Service, on of the objectionable. rri siler violates the order ''special 'features of these laws, ' 7 Ifthe such as section 3008, is that it anytime 80 days after receivingit, ofbulk mail, (also known as ink mail" by most of us) to over a pieces a week and every the Postal Service delivers millions of tons of bulk mail to mailing addresses, whether it was requested or not.

Section 8010 only covers explicit advertisements, that fall within its definition of the mean- submitted before the 101st Congress in January. As far as the VA Outreach Clinic in Roosevelt is concerned, Crittenden said that the Congressman and his staff have met with VA Hospital Administrator Hodson and his staff a couple of times and there is hope that arrangements can be made to treat veterans at the Indian Health Clinic at Ft Duchesne in a reciprocal agreement where tribal members could also be treated at the hospital in Salt Lake. This is in the event that funding cannot be secured seperately, eo that veterans in the area could still receive reguy lar caretaking medical can without haveing to travel to care. Salt Lake for . re-aol- ve The Basin has suffered a drought recently with water shortages across the area plaguing fanners and ranchers. Water is becoming an even more precious commodity and the National Weather Service Forecast doesnt offer much relief as it calls for a high pressure ridge to build over the area for most of the week with a cooling trend around Wednesday with some gradual ' wanning towards the weekend.' There is a slight chance of afternoon and evening thundershowers in the mountains, but no real rainfall in die tower elevations. Highs will be in the upper 80s and lower 90s by Friday with Lows in the 40s around by the weekend. Wednesday warming up to the mid-5- submitted by Hatch and Owens short of that commitment, with the Owens bill in fact the Upako unit, something that Nielson said is' taking away a mjor commitment in theoriginal deferral agreement Owens bill would provide about $15 million in canal rehabilitation for the area and has some provisions made for wildlife that would benefit fishermen and other sportsmen, but would leave the Basin and Ute Tribe without something that it was originally promised. Gams bill would provide $17 million but not the water storage projects. Senator Hatch has been involved with Nielsons eflbrts and the proposals but hasnt taken much action on it as of yet Nielsons bill may or may not include the canal rehabilitation, depending on the results of the research on the original documents, though it may feature funds for economic development for the tribe in lieu of the Leland Bench Pump Station. Crittenden said that Nielson hopes to get all the information together on the bill before going beck to Subcommittee on August 1. The bill would be up before Congress before October and the 100 tii Congress ends.
