Refitted Policy. Though Seaton, like McKay, holds to the Eisenhower concept of private-public partnership in river development, he takes a broader view of what can be accomplished. Studying the private low dams that McKay favored, Seaton noted that they offered only limited flood control, failed therefore to achieve full development of the Snake's potential. One high dam (at Pleasant Valley, downstream from Hell's Canyon) would generate more power and provide more flood control than two McKay-type low dams at Pleasant Valley and Mountain Sheep, he explained to the Federal Power Commission.

...Good Partnership. When President Eisenhower took office, "the wholesome concept of good neighbors" prevailed in inter-American relations. But "we foresaw a bond stronger than any yet achieved here or in any other community of world states." As a result, Eisenhower "called for a thorough study of the entire field of inter-American relations, the first integral examination ever made of our relations in the hemisphere.

For the partnership between king and company has been based from the first on strict terms of U.S. noninterference in Saudi Arabia's domestic policies. The royalties Aramco pays provide 90% of the government's revenues. Without Aramco, Saudi Arabia would revert to a black-tent kingdom of camels, date palms...
...from Jordan. Nasser's purpose: to talk them into replacing the subsidy Britain has for so long paid Jordan to support its Arab legion and base troops there. Nasser obviously feared that, with U.S. help under the Eisenhower doctrine. Saud might do it alone, forming a U.S.-backed partnership with Jordan that had no place for Nasser. It took Nasser hours of talk, including a two-hour session with Saud alone, before agreement came. Reportedly, Saud and Nasser will each put up a yearly $15 million. Syria $7.5 million. The minute his signature was affixed to the document...
