The estimated cost of the program is $400 million a year, but Representative Douglas believes it will yield significant returns in terms of human and natural resources. The Corps would be non-military and overseen by a Commission consisting of the Secretaries of Interior and Agriculture."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Helen%20Gahagan%20Douglas%20Collection/CAC_CC_014_5_172_9_0000-1950%20Campaign%20Helen%20Gahagan%20Douglas's%20Speeches/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_014_5_172_9_0028_thumbnail.jpg "The United Nations Action in Korea: A Decisive Day in World History")
