Seaway Bill Signed by Ike at White House Ceremony
President Eisenhower signed the St. Lawrence seaway bill in a White House ceremony with 43 lawmakers and Canadian ambassador A. D. Henney watching.

The project includes a 600 million dollar power plant in the St Lawrence rapids area and requires further action for expansion.
