Both chambers went on record fa voring the proposed 690-foot project at the Oregon-Idaho border. Charles C. Bonin of New York, of Ebasco Services In corporated, consulting engi neers to PNP, testified on technical aspects and said the chosen site is "unusually at tractive and favorable" for an arch dam.
