Budget official calls Dixon Yates contract entirely fair
Budget director Rowland R. Hughes testified before the Senate House Atomic committee that the Dixon Yates deal is an entirely fair business transaction. He urged the panel to waive its authority to deny TVA’s Tennessee Valley power project and said the arrangement shows free enterprise in action. Hughes cited taxes and higher borrowing costs as the main reasons for any differential, while noting most of the excess would stem from private utilities paying taxes and higher interest. He appeared after a closed session. upcoming witnesses include AEC Chairman Strauss and TVA head Vogel.
