Which US president delivered the ceremonial address on the dedication day of the dam?

Answer 1

I assume you are referring to Hoover Dam, because you just asked another question about it.

The address was given by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt on September 9, 1935. The dam is named after Herbert Hoover, FDR's immediate predecessor in the office of President, and FDR's administration required that all printed information about the dam refer to it as "Boulder Dam," although the name "Hoover Dam" had been assigned by Congress and was never changed. FDR died in 1945, and in 1947 Congress passed a bill to resume calling the structure "Hoover Dam."

Answer 2

I'm taking a wild guess here-- are you talking about Hoover Dam? If so, President Franklin D. Roosevelt attended the dedication ceremonies and spoke at the site, then named Boulder Dam, on September 30, 1935. (One answer above has the date wrong-- my source is the official website for Hoover Dam.)

Answer 3

Ronald Wilson Reagan (February 6, 1911 – June 5, 2004) was the 40th President of the United States (1981–1989) and the 33rd Governor of California (1967–1975). Reagan was born and raised in Illinois and moved to California in the 1930s. Before entering politics, he was a successful Hollywood and television actor, head of the Screen Actors Guild, and a spokesman for General Electric. He supported Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal and other Democrats in the 1930s and 1940s, but by the late 1950s, Reagan had become a conservative Republican. During his work for General Electric Theatre, he developed his articulation of the basic themes that would carry him into, and through, the California Governorship, which he won in 1966, and the Presidency of the United States. He unsuccessfully ran for President in 1976, before winning in 1980.

Reagan is credited with revitalizing America's economy, and its morale, after a period of stagflation and high interest rates. Following an attempt on his life early in his presidency, Reagan implemented large tax cuts, resulting in tremendous economic growth, and a significant reduction in inflation and unemployment. However, increases in military spending, among other things, led to huge budget deficits, and subsequent tax reform. [1] In dealing with foreign affairs, Reagan rejected détente and took a more active stand against communism and the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Reagan negotiated with Mikhail Gorbachev to shrink both countries' nuclear arsenals and bring a peaceful end to the Cold War. [2] Reagan is credited with hastening the collapse of the Soviet Union, and many give him credit for helping to bring down the Berlin Wall. [1]

Reagan's persuasive quotable speaking style earned him the sobriquet "The Great Communicator," while his survival of a number of scandals earned him the nickname "The Teflon President".[3] The best-known scandal was the Iran-Contra Affair.

After leaving office, Reagan wrote a best-selling autobiography titled An American Life. In 1994, Reagan disclosed that he was suffering from Alzheimer's Disease, and died ten years later, in 2004, at the age of ninety-three. After a major state funeral in Washington, D.C., his body returned to California, where Ronald Reagan was laid to rest. He is the second longest-lived president in U.S. history, 45 days behind Gerald Ford.

Academics and historians rate Reagan among the top fifteen American presidents, although he is ranked higher in several public opinion surveys. :

You really need to say which dam you mean, because you can't count on people reading ALL of your questions. However, if you mean the Hoover Dam, it was FDR.
