Private Power Wins Battle Against Hells Canyon Dam Plan
Washington insiders report Private power supporters prevailed in blocking the proposed federal dam on the Snake River at Hells Canyon Idaho. GOP votes 16 to 14 in the House Interior subcommittee blocked Senate authorization with two Democrats aiding the outcome. Democrats Gracie Prost and Al Ullman prepared an alternate measure to send the issue to the House Public Works committee for debate. Reps James Haley and George Shuford joined Republicans in defeating the dam proposal in the Interior committee, as some Democrats stalled the final vote through parliamentary maneuvers. Idaho Power Co. currently builds three smaller dams near the site under a prior Federal Power Commission authorization.
