Dan Young, 1978 - 4607 W. 14th St., LubbockThank you, General Rose, and
ladies and gentlemen, particularly the
members of the Task Force. Certainly
it is a great pleasure for me to meet
with you today. A little over a year
ago we started this Task Force. You
have, after much hard work, prepared
and transmitted to me a recommended
short-range action program for guiding
water development in the near future,
here in the State of Texas. I have
carefully reviewed that program, re-
viewed it with General Rose, and I
fully accept today your recommenda-
tions. Now, I think we might take the
next serious step to implement that
program. We need your continued
help as we move forward; therefore, I
ask that you continue to serve on this
Task Force and that this Task Force
remain in existence to implement the
plans that you have forwarded to
me.
Today, we are on the threshold of
a new beginning in the Legislature and
the Administration-the beginning of
water development here in this State.
We have the cooperation of the Lieu-
tenant Governor in the preparation of
these plans and in carrying them out,
cooperation that extends to the Speak-
er of the House.
As we moved throughout the cam-
paign throughout this State in recent
months, I was impressed once again
with the place water problems have in
all areas and in all parts of this great
State of ours, the tremendous impor-
tance of water development to the
future of every area of Texas, every
segment of our economy. And I am
more convinced than ever before of
the wisdom of the course that you have
charted to get water development mov-
ing, to continue its development here
in this great State.
Sr'a lodo'. I varnf to drank each of
you as m'mhersbrj of Uris Tak Force for:rnor Briscoe to Task Force
Dolph the work which you have accomplished
;ource in the months since I asked you to
Task serve with me in this, what I consider
s rec- to be. one of the very major, most
m for effective efforts of my first term. And
pment I want to say once again with you the
story priorities that I believe must guide this
Task State in developing and using water
resources to the benefit of all the Peo-pie of Texas. I also want to discuss
with u the future of the Task Force
in the Admiistration as we work with
the new Legislature, as we confront
new demands on our water resources
that are becoming more and more ap-
parent each day and each month that
go by,
Good cooperation has existed be-
tween i.his Task Force and the Gover-
nor's Lnergy Council in meeting the
energy needs of Texas, not just
through today, but in meeting those
neest Ior the future. You have done
a job to be very proud of, and this
mornerg I want to express my pride in
the work that each of you has done.
By bringing together your combined
knowledge and experience, you have
prepared and you are acting upon a
State&de program for COnservation
and development of water resources
here in the State of Texas. Now we
have a short-range action program
that bheprints our COurse as we plan
the actions required for the long term.
For those documents and for the whole
range of the fine work you have done,
both individually and together, I want
to thank you and I am very grateful.
I think, too, that as we look to the
future, I want to emphasize once
again, as I did at our first meting, the
importance of meeting the water needs
of the Sater-deficit areas of this State,
by bringing water from outside the
State tis order to meet those needs.
And, certainly, I think that once again
we recognize that not only is it neCes-sary, but it must be done, and it must
be doe as soon as possible, even
though there are those who say it can't
be dore, I think it is a goal that we
must meet and one that we can meet.
So aoain, thanks to you for the job
you ive done. General, thanks to
you, and to each of you as members
Of fhii Taik f&orcr for a jobl well d'er.
Thank yo ru.Page 2
