Edwin C. Johnson Papers

 Collection
Identifier: M062

The Edwin C. Johnson Papers consist primarily of material related to Johnson's work on the Upper Colorado River Commission. Associated closely with the Commission was the Colorado Water Conservation Board, which spearheaded much of the research and lobbying initiatives on behalf of Colorado water. The collection has extensive, but not complete, meeting minutes and memoranda of the Colorado Water Conservation Board. The Colorado River Storage Project served as a vehicle for both water conservation and water allocation. The projects that were funded, determined which areas of the country would receive the most water from the Colorado River. Johnson worked closely with the Colorado Congressional delegation, and the collection includes correspondence from Senators Gordon Allott and Peter Dominick as well as Representatives Byron Rogers and Wayne Aspinall. The papers also include speeches, newsletters, news releases, newspaper clippings, brochures, treaties, hearing transcripts, congressional bills, and reports.
