Public Reply to Louis Mysse on Yellowtail Dam
Lester C. Jones defends Yellowtail Dam against Mysse's criticisms. He cites 1954 hearings showing a 577 MW need versus 532 MW supply, with future deficits projected from 1960 to 1970. He argues irrigation, flood and sediment control, flood protection, recreation, fish and wildlife value, and national economic benefits justify the project. He urges voters to seek facts and for politicians to back Montana development.
