United States Department of the Interior

OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY

Washington, D.C. 20240

JAN 1 6 2009

Memorandum

To:	Members and Alternates

From:	Kameran L. Onley, Secretary's Designee - Glen Ca	A-ff'optive

Management Work Group

Subject:	Transition and Farewell

For the past six months, I have had the privilege to serve as Secretary Kempthorne's Designee

to the Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management Work Group (AMWG). My one regret with

respect to my service as the Secretary's Designee is that I did not have a longer opportunity to

work with all of you on the important issues addressed by AMWG. In my short tenure, and

especially at our recent meeting in Flagstaff, I saw firsthand the importance of the issues facing

the AMWG, as well as the passion that you all bring to the consideration of these issues. It was

very impressive for me to see the various federal, state, tribal officials, as well as scientists,

environmental organizations, recreational interests as well as water and power organizations all

at the table engaged in respectful and collaborative discussion.

Following the end of my tenure, Larry Walkoviak, Reclamation's Upper Colorado Regional

Director, who serves as the Department's Permanent Alternate Designated Federal Official for

the AMWG, will be assuming the duties of the Secretary's Designee. I have great respect for

Larry and believe that he will do an outstanding job in this role.

I wish you all the best of luck with your ongoing engagement in Glen Canyon issues. There are

certainly no easy answers or approaches to balancing the views and statutory obligations

applicable to Glen Canyon Dam, but having had the opportunity to work in public service, I

continue to strongly believe in the importance of public processes and collaborative

engagement.
