LOS ANGELES - October 20, 1944 HR. WALTER BRACKEN I assume you have seen a copy of the questions the Board proposes to ask at the meeting on November 3rd. It is my understanding that you have kept a rather ac­curate record of the decline in pressure of all of our wells and decline in production, and possibly the de­cline in the water level itself. I think it might be well to get all of those records in some complete and compact form and if that can be done readily, I would like to have a copy sent to me. I have been reviewing Mr. Green’s report which was made in 1939 and it will be seme what helpful, although it is five years old. Mr. Reinhardt advises me that Mr. Cole cannot be pre­sent at the meeting, which is uhfortunate, as I think we should have a geologist present and I am wondering what you think of the suggestion of endeavoring to have Mir. Green come out that day and discuss the matter with the Board, paying him, of course, for his time and his expenses* I think that with his preliminary report and the additional data, which I am assuming you have, he would be able to make a very convincing talk before the Board. P. S. I have Just been advised that Mr. Green is in Montana and probably will not be available. E. E. BENNETT EEB/b E.E.Bfci
