1 <br /> Mr. Gordon stated that he had been invited to a BLM conference in Palm Springs, California at <br /> which he had presented a paper on the West Eugene Wetlands project. <br /> Mr. Gordon said that he was working through the lobbyist's office to invite the Secretary of the <br /> Interior and the BLM director to visit the Wetlands Project on the recommendations of Nina <br /> Hatfield and Ray Brady in Washington, D.C. <br /> Mr. Gordon announced that the Wetheads will have a retreat in the fall. <br /> In closing, Mr. Gordon commended the USFWS for joining in partnership with the WET. He <br /> recommended that it would be a good time to update the WET document that explains the <br /> partnership and also to renegotiate the memorandum of agreement, noting that newer partners <br /> had not participated in the latter. <br /> 9. OTHER, NEXT MEETING DATE AND TIME <br /> The next meeting of WET is scheduled for October or November.
