MEMORANDUM FOR Office of Counsel, ATTN: Janet Smith 

 SUBJECT: Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA) Request 



1. This memo responds to Office of Counsel FOIA request memo 

 dated 3 February 1994 (received 8 February) . 



2. The 13 January 1994 Sierra Club letter asks for project 

 titles for 5 documents. These are already correctly listed in 

 the "References Cited", p. 2-3, from the Draft Recovery Plan 

 Recommendations for Peer Review. The first one (line 36-33, p. 

 2) is a draft document and was not retained by our office once a 

 final report was issued. The final report is the one referenced 

 on lines 7-9, p. 3, and is available in our office. That report 

 is the end product stemming from one of four objectives addressed 

 in a 1590 (through February 1991) scope of work with Idaho Coop- 

 erative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit (ICFWRU) in support of 

 the development of the Adult Passage Evaluation, under the DA 

 Form 2544 agreement (No. E86900070, with three change orders) 

 with the ICFWRU funded by CENPD ' s Fish Passage Development and 

 Evaluation Program. Funding for all four objectives totalled 

 $479,030; of this, $22S,344 was for capital outlay (equipment) 

 that will be retained by the Corps; and $54,444 was for Oregon 

 Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) as subcontractor to the 

 study effort. Dr. Bjornn is fully salaried by the U.S. Fish and 

 Wildlife Service and received no reimbursement from this work 

 order or any work order placed by the Corps of Engineers for this 

 study (or Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) as cooperating 

 funding agency when they participated in the 1991-94 study) . 



3. The two reports cited on p. 3, lines 4-6 and 10-13 are the 

 first two annual reports submitted to date, for field year 1991 

 and for 1992. The 1991 Annual Report is incorrectly cited. The 

 correct list of authors should be: Bjornn, T.C., R.R. Ringe, 

 K.R. Tolotti, P.J. Keniry, J. P. Hunt, C.J. Knutsen, and S.M. 

 Knapp. The 1992 Annual Report is a draft document. Note that 

 this draft is improperly cited. The correct citation should 

 read: Bjornn, T.C., J. P. Hunt, K.R. Tolotti, P.J. Keniry, R.R. 

 Ringe, S.M. Knapp, and C.J. Knutsen. 1993. Migration of Adult 

 Chinook Salmon and Steelhead Past Dams and Through Reservoirs in 

 the Lower Snake River and into Tributaries - 1992. U.S. Army 

 Corps of Engineers, Walla Walla District Technical Report 93-1. 

 Walla Walla (DRAFT) . Both these documents are joint reports by 

 the ICFWRU and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, sub- 

 contractor to ICFWRU.
