the reclamation of the unit through
atato and federal co-operation.
Though the to to of the board was un
favorable the Governor announced
tlrat It was by no means final and that
he would continue to push tho matter
vigorously.
This action was taken after the
passage of a resolution offered by
the Governor providing that no fur
ther requests for temporary with
drawals be entertained and with oth
er provision as well which strictly
limit the promotion of further Carey
act projects In Oregon. The comploto
resolution was as follows:
