is not a partisan issue, that of 26
partnership projects authorized in
the last 50 years 14 of them had
been established under liemocra-
tlc presidents.
"The Cove project on the Des
chutes is a partnership dam be

and Pacific Power & Ught and it
was authorized by President Har

others.” said the congressman.
In citing the need for an imme

Coon said that it would require
an investment of a million dollars
a day to provide the power for the
Northwest needs. At the rate ap
propriations are being made by
the federal government It will re
quire 27 years for enough money
to be alloted to this area. There
are 1100 projects already author
ized at an estimated cost of nine
billion dollars.
The congressman accused the
Democrat members of congress
from Oregon of helping defeat the
appropriations for the John Day
dam so they could i>olnt to a re
cord of no new starts on the part
of the Elsenhower administration

said.

Coon said in answer to a ques
tion that the cost of power at the
damsite under his bill would be
2.5 mills compared to 2.2 at Bon
neville. Jlils is about the same as
the rate will be at The Dalles and
McNary dams. That will be the
wholesale rate, comparable to the
Bonneville rate. He said that he
favored the low John Day dam in
stead of the high and felt that
the engineers would soon change
to favor it also.
