Thank you, Mr. Chairman, members of the com­ mittee; I appear before you to submit a letter directed to me, protest­ ing confirmation of the nomination of Mr. Bennett. This letter is written and signed by Mr. Fred W. Grant, Jr., president of the H yda ­ burg, Alaska, Cooperative Association. (The letter referred to follows:) Hydaburg, A laska, March 11, 1966. Senator E. L. Bartlett, Congress of the United States, Washington, D.C. Dear S enator: Attached hereto are statements presented to Mr. Newton Edwards, Department of the Interior representative conducting hearings on the ■closure of operations at the cannery owned by members of the Hydaburg Co­ operative Association. Also a few letters are attached th at we thought may be of interest to you. I want to suggest tha t you work against the confirmation of Mr. Robert L. Bennett’s appointment as Commissioner of Indian Affairs. We feel he has INTE RIOR NOMINATION 3 deliberately twisted the tru th in our case to justify his actions. This should disqualify the man to hold such an important post. He along w ith Mr. Wright and Mr. Walker, BIA officials at Jun eau , Alaska, should be tra nsferred to positions they are better qualified to handle. Than k you for your help in making the hearing possible, thus affording us a chance to make our grievances known. Best regards. Very tr uly yours, Fred W. Grant, Jr., President, Hydaburg Cooperative Association. Senator B artlett. I also submit, in case it has not already been directed to you, a communication from the Metlakatla Indian Com­ munity, Henry S. Littlefield, mayor, endorsing Mr. Bennett. (The document referred to follows:) Metlakatla, Alaska, March 30,1966. Hon. E. L. B artlett, Senate Building, Washington, D.C.: We would like to endorse the appointment of Hon. Robert L. Bennett for the post of Commissioner of Indian Affairs. We have had excellent rela tions with Mr. Be nnett and know he has the ability and the background for a high executive office in the BIA. Again we commend the choice of Mr. Bennett for Com­ missioner. T he M etlakatla I ndian C ommunity, Henry S. Littlefield, Mayor. Senator B artlett. Likewise, I should like to call to the attention of the committee Senate Resolution No. 13 of the Alaska S tate Legisla­ ture, signed by Robert J. McNealy, president of the senate, passed by the Senate of Alaska on March 25, 1966, endorsing Mr. Bennett’s appointment. (The document referred to follow s:) Received March 31, 1966, in the Senate, by the local government comm ittee: Senate R esolution N o. 13 in the L egislature of the State of Alaska F ourth Legislature, S econd S ession EXTENDING CONGRATULATIONS TO THE HONORABLE ROBERT L.

  • The Hells Canyon Dam Controversy

    The Hells Canyon Dam Controversy

    N 1956, AT THE TENDER AGE OF THIRTY-TWO, Frank Church made a bold bid for the United States Senate. After squeak- I ing out a victory in the hotly contested Idaho Democratic pri- mary, Church faced down incumbent Senator Herman Welker, re- ceiving nearly percent of the vote. One issue that loomed over the campaign was an emerging dis- pute over building dams in the Snake River’s Hells Canyon. While Church and other Democrats supported the construction of a high federal dam in the Idaho gorge, their Republican opponents favored developing the resource through private utility companies. Idaho EVOLUTION voters split on the issue, and so, seeking to avoid a divisive debate, Church downplayed his position during the general election “be- of an cause it was not a winning issue, politically.”1 Senator Frank Church Although Church won the election, he could not escape the is- sue. Indeed, his victory and subsequent assignment to the Senate Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs put him at the center of a growing controversy about damming Hells Canyon. Over the next eighteen years, Church wrestled with balancing Idaho’s demand for economic growth and his own pro-development beliefs with an emerging environmental movement’s demand for preservation of nature—in Idaho and across the nation. As he grappled with these competing interests, Church under- went a significant transformation. While Church often supported development early in his Senate career, he, like few others of his time, began to see the value of wild places and to believe that rivers offered more than power production opportunities and irrigation water.

    CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present

    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.
