secure an extension from his CTedi-

collateral that, under a forced sale,

in my opinion, if we don't get some
permanent water supply very shortly
it means the ruin of most Of us. AS
we all know, we have the most pro-
Guctive valley in the United States,
and all we need to become absolutely
independent is an adequate supply of
water. | have no personal ''crow to
pick with anyone, but | do think that
the powers that be- have grossly

that which we need, and the need OF
