Compromise Proposed in SPA Fund Fight
Washington July 17 AP a compromise proposal was submitted to congressional conferees on the Southwestern Power Administration to break a deadlock. House and Senate differences center on interior appropriations with $1 271 000 for construction and maintenance in the House and $125 000 for maintenance only after Senate elimination of construction funds. The plan would allow SPA to use last year’s 7 500 000 plus part of 87 500 000 for contracts already entered and to cover incidental costs for a Norfolk to Denison dam line, though Senate conferees press for no new construction funds this fiscal year.
