...that extra power will be Bennett's, and he has already sold it to a consortium of U.S. power companies for a sum that more than pays for the dams. When Lyndon Johnson and Lester Pearson put a seal on the deal at a ceremonial inauguration at the Friendship Arch straddling the border 30 miles south of Vancouver, Johnson noted that Bennett's check for the power came to exactly $253,929,534.25, and drew a chuckle from the crowd with the wry comment that "the Canadians even went for the last...
