Senator Peter H. Dominick (R-Colo.) delivers his weekly radio address, Report from Washington, on June 5, 1965. Sen. Dominick talks in depth about the Public Works and Economic Development Act. He reviews numerous provisions of the act and the reasons he opposed its passage in the Senate including its high costs, its lack of program reviews and oversight, and its provision of subsidized loans. He also discusses his view that the act repackages and expands two failed programs, the Area Redevelopment Administration and the Accelerated Public Works Program, into one new program run by the United States Department of Commerce.
