Director Davis explained that the R/W issue is a major issue they have been struggling with. He clarified that the R/W included is the R/W necessary to build all projects on the 20 year program that has been identified. Exhibit B includes all the projects in that 20 year plan, and if the project is not shown there, then the money would not be used to fund that R/W acquisition.

Chairman Scurlock pointed out that if activity increased in that area, it could be added to the program, and he believed it 7 JAN 8 1986Boa 63 m".;L 214
