![["In a speech to the House of Representatives, Honorable Helen Gahagan Douglas argues for the construction of a steam power plant in the Central Valley project in California.

Douglas believes a steam stand-by plant is essential to provide consistent power, especially during dry periods. The lack of firm power capacity in the region has led to power rationing and job losses. She criticizes the decision to cut funding for the Delta steam-power plant and argues that steam plants are necessary for the success of large hydroelectric projects."]](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_0026_thumbnail.jpg "The Beliefs of a Democratic Representative: A Call for Government Action and Democracy")
