Already the Pacific Northwest is the most highly electrified area in the nation, with S6 major power dams and 12 multi-purpose dams in existence.

Congress already has authorized 12 major dams, and many others are recom mended In a carefully coordinated power, irrigation, navigation and flood control plan. PGE believes that government has a place in the sound and economic development of our rivers. PGE, too, has a major part in the job of creating and distributing electricity, at fair prices, tolhe people. And with governmental and private agen cies working as a team to an atmosphere of cooperation, the development of our natural resources can be advanced at maxtmnm speed. To that end PGE wholeheartedly supports a early completion of the multi-purpose river projects authorized by Congress foe the Pacific Northwest.
