TVA Not Affected by Federal Financing Bank Act Rewrite
Senator Sparkman seeks to ensure the Federal Financing Bank Act of 1972 will not harm the Tennessee Valley Authority TVA. Treasury Secretary Shultz asked the Ways and Means Committee to redraft the bill to exclude TVA, amid Blount allegations that the measure would raise TVA costs. Sparkman rejects the charges and backs the administration line that TVA remains unaffected.
