![["The document compares the voting records of Helin Gahagan Douglas and Richard Hixon in the 80th Congress of 1947-48 on various issues. Douglas was generally in favor of limiting Presidents to two terms, citing individuals for contempt, cutting the budget, and passing certain bills. Hixon, on the other hand, was in favor of certain budget cuts, barring portal to portal pay, and extending power to bring in farm labor. Both individuals had differing votes on various bills related to taxation, foreign aid, loyalty tests, and social security. Overall, Douglas and Hixon had contrasting stances on many important issues during this Congress."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Helen%20Gahagan%20Douglas%20Collection/CAC_CC_014_5_172_2_0000-1950%20Campaign%20Helen%20Douglas-Richard%20Nixon%20Voting%20Record/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_014_5_172_2_0010_thumbnail.jpg "Congressional Attendance Record: Helen Gahagan Douglas")
![["The Presbyterian Synod has expressed alarm at efforts to repeal the 160-acre water limitation in California, which would benefit large landowners at the expense of small farmers. The Synod's committee on social education and action conducted a thorough study on the issue and reaffirmed its support for the limitation. The report highlights potential harms to farmers, coercion in acreage limitation, and the lack of benefits to small landholders in repealing the limitation. The report also addresses concerns about land speculation and the impact on rural life. The Bureau of Reclamation is urged to uphold the 160-acre limitation provision of the Federal reclamation law for the Central Valley Project."]](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_0023_thumbnail.jpg "The Veteran's Stake in Reclamation: A Call to Action")

![["Representative Helen Gahagan Douglas strongly endorses the Engle-Scudder bill to authorize the building of canals for irrigation in the Sacramento Valley. The project has widespread support from officials, farmers, and citizens in the affected area. The bill aims to bring water to irrigate a large section of land that is currently largely dry-farmed, with the potential to greatly increase productivity and address water supply issues. The project is part of the original State Central Valley Project and is estimated to have a favorable benefits-to-cost ratio. Douglas urges the Senate Committee on Interior & Insular Affairs to approve the project's early authorization and construction."]](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_0030_thumbnail.jpg "Preserving Liberty: Congresswoman Douglas Opposes Mundt-Nixon Bill")
