In a red-tinted archival picture, a man in a dark suit stands at the tiered marble rostrum of a legislative chamber, a large American flag hanging behind it; officials sit at the desks around him, and members in dark suits fill the rows below. The chamber appears to be the House of Representatives in Washington. The source ties the scene to the Boulder Canyon Project Act, which Congress passed in December 1928 and President Coolidge signed on 21 December.
