[Vision2020] water development

[Sunil Ramalingam]

Thanks, Mark.

I also wonder that if money were available for such a project, setting aside 
any environmental concerns, Moscow would be able to appropriate Clearwater 
River water.  Wouldn't Washington users downstream have superior claims that 
would make such a project difficult?
