Franklin Roosevelt actually said...

"It is putting to work in the steel centers and other great manufacturing centers of the east thousands of people in making the materials that go into the dam."

"We look forward not only to the great good this will do in the development of power but also in the development of thousands of homes."

"I am made very happy by the wonderful progress that I have seen."

"It is up to us, as a Nation, to help them to live better than they are living now."
