Description:

Article in August 1980 in Stanislaus Campaign News describing President Jimmy Carter’s visit to and speech in Merced, California. In response to questions, President Carter took a bold stance about the Stanislaus, saying, “I believe it is one of the most beautiful rivers on earth… (and if legislation protecting it reaches him) then I would sign the bill”.  This was cheered by the hundreds of river supporters in the hall, but not good news for the many hundreds who were dam supporters.
