Ival V. Goslin, Executive Director Environmental Defense Fund, Inc. v. Water Resources Council, et al. , U.S. District Court for District of Columbia, #1005 - 72 . As many of you know, an organization known as the Environmental Defense Fund has instituted suit against the national Water Resources Council, et al. , a division of the Executive branch of the Federal govern-ment, seeking to destroy the 196 8 regulation, "Standards for Plan Formulation and Evaluation" for water resource projects. The real motive for the lawsuit seems to be to prevent all water resource development by forcing the Federal government to use the "opportunity cost of money" as the basis for int e rest rates used in project evaluation, which would be much more restrictive than the regulation of the Water Resources Council. Enclosed is a succinct memorandum analyzing the plaintiffs' complaint and basic answers to the issues raised. This memo was prepared by Mr . Billhymer, our Commission's general counsel. Also enclosed is a copy of the complaint for your own study. Every person and organization concerned with preserving rights associated with developing, conserving, and utilizing water and relate d resources of the U.S.A. should be deeply interested in this legal action. Perhaps responsible water resource agencies and authorities in each of the 50 States should consider petitioning to intervene in this lawsuit in support of the defendants. http://archives.mountainscholar.org/cdm/ref/collection/p17393coll32/id/5429
