Throughout his Senate career, Dennis was concerned with the development of resources in the West. He actively supported measures such as water and soil conservation programs, transportation, federal crop insurance, and most importantly for New Mexico, rural electrification. Beginning in 1937, he introduced the first of many bills to protect Indian lands, citizenship, voting rights and self determination. Throughout the 1940s and 1950s, he advocated national education measures. http://www.dennischavez.org/archives/view/56/
