McKellar Proposals to Tax TVA Rejected by Congress
Congress rejected Sen. McKellar’s amendments to bring the Tennessee Valley Authority under tighter scrutiny. The measures would require senate confirmation for high paid officials and force TVA to seek Congress approval for funding rather than rely on power and fertilizer revenues. The independent offices bill moves to the White House with TVA provisions limited to quarterly financial disclosures.
