Science, Medicine, and Technology
"That is why in developing electricity from this Bonneviile Dam, from the Grand Coulee Dam and from other dams to be built on the Columbia and its tributaries, the policy of the widest use ought to prevail. The transmission of electricity is making such scientific strides today that we can well visualize a date, not far distant, when every community in this great area will be wholly electrified." --Franklin D. Roosevelt, Address at Bonneville Dam, Sept. 28, 1937
