Rep. Greg Walden will be at the Klamath County Fairgrounds tomorrow at 3PM to announce the preliminary findings of the National Academy of Science. Word is the preliminary report is positive news for the irrigation community.
Please pass the word along and attend tomorrows meeting. This is short notice, so we are relying on neighbors telling neighbors!
PING.

Barbara Hall Dear Barbara:
I would like to invite you to a special forum I will be speaking at tomorrow afternoon in Klamath Falls. At 4:00 p.m. on Monday, February 4, I will deliver significant favorable news about a newly released National Academy of Sciences (NAS) National Research Council report regarding endangered species in the Klamath Basin, as well as address other timely issues relevant to the Basin.
This special forum will be held in Hall # 1 in the Main Exhibit Building of the Klamath County Fairgrounds at 3531 South 6th Street in Klamath Falls. Doors will be open no later than 3:30 p.m. to give those in attendance a chance to settle in before the forum starts promptly at 4:00 p.m.
The interim NAS report, entitled "Scientific Evaluation of Biological Opinions on Endangered and Threatened Fishes in the Klamath River Basin," is a review of the scientific studies that were the basis of the federal government's April 6, 2001 decision to shut off water to irrigators in the Klamath Basin in an effort to protect endangered sucker fish and salmon populations.
The NAS is a private, nonprofit, self-perpetuating society of distinguished scholars engaged in scientific and engineering research and dedicated to the furtherance of science and technology. Upon the authority of the charter granted to it by Congress in 1863, the Academy has a mandate that requires it to advise the federal government on scientific and technical matters. I think you will be pleased to learn the details of the report this highly regarded institution recently completed regarding the water predicament in the Klamath Basin. I hope to see you tomorrow at the fairgrounds.
Thank you for your continued dedication to the needs of the hard-working community in the Klamath Basin.

"The Academy report found that there was not enough evidence to justify raising the water level for the coho and sucker."
