“Western Governors and federal agencies deal with a complex web of interrelated energy and water resource issues,” notes the testimony signed by James D. Ogsbury, Executive Director of WGA. “It is an enormous challenge to judiciously balance competing needs in this environment, and Western Governors appreciate the difficulty of the decisions (to be made). The foregoing recommendations are offered in a spirit of cooperation and respect, and WGA is prepared to assist you as you discharge these critical and challenging responsibilities.”
