A transcript, which was published in The Public Papers and Addresses of Franklin D. Roosevelt, includes the full text of his remarks. In the speech, Roosevelt speaks about the challenges posed by urban growth, including traffic congestion, housing prices, and increased energy consumption. He then talks about the regional benefits of the Bonneville Dam and future dam projects on the Columbia River.
