GENERAL DAVIS: Well, it is certainly very nice to have you
here in Vicksburg. It is a rather difficult place to get to, as most
of you appreciate, but once you get here, I think you will 'find out
it is well worthwhile.
With respect to our business at hand here, if you will
:recollect, we decided that we would hav'e Texas and Oklahoma get together
this afternoon with particular reference to heach 2 so that if there
is any possibility of arriving at something - we would try to do that
before getting ,comments from the Committee as a whole, meeting on
all of the reaches.
1m. CLARK: I might add that I have copies of t~e minutes of
:h'3' t~::rty·""'th~:rd mee-:ir.g for refe~ence, if anyvne dOb'sn 1t have one.
That will be pretty much the take-off pcin't. Mr. James, do you need
one?

hanging down here in the middle of the room. We are making a tape of
this meeting.
GENERAL DAVIS: Well, what we are here for t3day is to find
out if Texas and Oklahoma have been able to come to any sort of a
meeting of minds with regard to Reach 2, and if not, wherein tee lack
of agr-eement lies - the lack of information or something else which
could J:.e looked into. I thought we might start "pstream and work
down. Mr'. McK:'nney, would you start the ball rolling on this?
