Testifying before the House rivers and harbors committee, Gov. Charles R. Miller and Mayors Fregton and Donnelly, Rep. J. Hampton Moore, and others urged a coastwide canal linking existing waterways. Miller pressed for immediate action, while officials argued federal support or purchase of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal would rival Panama in regional value. Virginia trade leader Guy Webb backed a 12 foot deep canal, 125 foot bottom width, as Baltimore’s Gen. Felix Agnus said the British would not have invaded Washington if the canal had existed.
