II should be obvious to all citi-

tee of congress wishes to obtain
authentic information concerning
the need for reclamation, irrigation
and power development in this state,
that the committee should hold
public hearing giving all interested
persons a chance to appear an pre-
sent the facts to the end that intel
Iiqent democratic action on the part
of congress might be possible
1t should also be. equally obvious
that Montana cannot be properly de-
veloped, if we continue dependent on
a monopolized scarcity of electric
power with its attendant extremely
high cost
Finally, it should be apparent to all
that Montana's governor and repre-
sentatives in congress should advo-
cate and work for legislative action
which will make water originating in
Montana available for all beneficial
uses in this state. Water impounded
in the Garrison Dam in North Dakota
under the Pick-Sloan plan is not avail

industrial development in this state.
