Bond plan clashes with TVA control and funding
The debate centers on extending power facilities through bonds. Critics say self financing reduces congressional oversight of TVA spending. The Chamber of Commerce backs an alternative to forbid further appropriations or bonds for TVA facilities and require full-cost pricing, with Congress keeping control until federal funds are repaid. Local or public power agencies could buy TVA plants and transmission facilities without preference to agency type.
