Senator Cordon Discusses
Proposed Montana Project
. WASHINGTON VP) The Inter-1
tional Joint Commission is en
gaged in active consideration of
tho proposed Libby Dam project
in Montana, Senator Guy Cordon
reports. He said that the fact the
commission temporarily is with
out a chairman has not stymied
its work.
Senator Cordon said that "badly
misinformed" sources in Oregon
have been spreading reports that
the Libby Dam project is road
blocked by the fact that Governor
Len Jordan of Idaho, who has !
been named chairman of the com-1
mission, will not take office until
January. ' !
Describing that view as at best
"a sprawling leap to an errone
ous conclusion," Senator Cordon
said the fact is that "the commis
sion is legally competent to func
tion with its present five-man
membership and, furthermore,
has been functioning right along."
With particular reference to
Libby Dam, Senator Cordon said
"the exchange of views (with
Canada) on the Kootenai River
project has been under way since
May."
Senator Cordon pointed out that
tne Canadian government was in
vited last May to submit Its for
mal views on the Libby Dam pro
ject, and that these comments
have been received by the joint
commission. Under Its ' rules of
procedure, the commission now
has invited interested parties on
the American side to file their
comments, during a 30-day period
expiring this month.
Following that, Senator Cordon
explained, the commission will ad
vertise dates for public hearings,
one probably in Montana and the
other somewhere in the adjacent
area of Canada. The hearings
may be set for the first week In
November before, the new
chairman takes office.
Governor Jordan, although not
eligible to sit officially with the
commission until he takes office,
has been invited to attend the
semi - annual commission meeting
at Ottawa, October 2, and has in
dicated he will be there. At that
meeting, the commission is ex
pected to set the hearing dates on
the Libby project.
Charges that Governor Jordan's
absence from the commission Is
holding up its work have been
circulated in Oregon through the
labor press and other media.
Senator Cordon surmised that
they must have been originated
by "someone with an incredible
talent for getting things all balled
up," because, he said, "nothing
could be furtfier from the truth
than these reports. "
