(From the June/July Zephyr) July 4, 1994. FINAL SUMMARY REPORT: Lake Powell Disaster Congressional Commission… By Thomas S. Budlong

An excerpt:

The Lake Powell Disaster Congressional Commission was authorized by Congress on November 15, 1992 to investigate the causes and effects of the Lake Powell disaster of July 4, 1992. Approximately 200,000 investigative man-hours have been expended, involving twenty-three different government agencies, thirteen independent contractors, and testimony from over 500 witnesses and experts. It is the opinion of the commission that all currently available data relevant to the event has been recorded. This is a summary of the investigation. All material collected, in formal reports and raw data, is in the custody of the Library of Congress. The Commission members wish to thank all those who have worked on this massive undertaking, with special thanks to the individual members of Congress who have been instrumental in providing avenues for collection of information and testimony. This report is dedicated to the estimated 1300 people who lost their lives in the disaster.
