The fight to restore funds sets the stage for a Senate showdown with both parties pledging to press for more aid.

A group of five state utilities led by General R K Lime of Public Service Co of Oklahoma urged Congress to restore the full 3 180 000 budget for the Southwestern Power Administration. They argued the cut benefits private business and taxpaying utilities, while the House had cut to 269 000 for admin use only.
