In 1997, the Foundation sponsored a three-day, invitation-only symposium at Bishop’s Lodge, New Mexico, site of the 1922 Colorado River Compact signing, to discuss the historical implications of that agreement, current Colorado River issues and future challenges. The 204-page proceedings features the panel discussions and presentations on such issues as the Law of the River, water marketing and environmental restoration.

Speakers included Stewart Udall, former secretary of the Interior and Bruce Babbitt, current secretary of the Interior. A vital resource for universities, libraries, law schools and a must-have for the serious Colorado River scholar.
