You can pack a lot of confusion in one little question! J. Edgar Hoover was the director of the FBI, not the CIA.
The dam is named after President Herbert Hoover.

I do believe that it was after the President - Herbert Hoover. The President did not accept any pay for his term in office, but due to the stock market crash and people starving all over the country, was very much disliked.
The President who started the New Deal programs, including the Hoover dam was actually Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who served four terms and put America back on the map.

The only thing I would add is that you shouldn't just assume it's a homework question.
Some are nothing but idle curiosity.
And isn't that one of the things YA is for?
(this is aimed at answerers, not the questioner)
Oh....but J Edgar Hoover was with the FBI, not the CIA.
