Biographical History
Floyd E. Dominy (1909-2010 ) was appointed Commissioner of the United States Bureau of Reclamation in 1959 by President Eisenhower, and was continually reappointed to that position until his retirement in 1969. He had served in other Bureau of Reclamation capacities since 1946 and prior to that had worked as a field representative with the Agricultural Adjustment Administration (1938-1942). Dominy was originally from Nebraska and went to school at the University of Wyoming.
The Bureau of Reclamation, under the Department of the Interior, administers programs in the areas of water resources, hydroelectric power, river regulation, and flood control. As Commissioner, Dominy administered national and international programs and directed the following major projects: Colorado River Storage Project, Colorado River Basin Project, Missouri River Basin Project, Columbia River Basin Project, Central Valley Project in California, and Mekong River Basin Project in Thailand.
