A man in a hard hat and glasses operates surveying equipment against a rocky backdrop. The voiceover discusses the economic impact of irrigation projects and the expansion of dams along the Colorado River, including Glen Canyon Dam.

“In return, these irrigated areas buy farm machinery and other products from the manufacturing center.” 26:21 · “Hoover Dam has pointed the way to the fullest utilization of the Colorado River's resources.” 26:45 automatic transcript, may be wrong

The record

US Government work The record names a federal body as the creating agency. A work prepared by an officer or employee of the United States Government as part of that person's official duties has no US copyright (17 U.S.C. 105; before 1978, section 8 of the 1909 Act). This says nothing about copyright outside the United States, or about music, stock footage or other material the film may incorporate. Evidence dossier. The finding concerns the US copyright record for the film; it is not clearance for any use, and this page's annotation is machine output.
