Dixon-Yates Looms Large in House Battle Lines
In Washington the House faces a clash over the Dixon Yates power project as Republicans and Democrats lock into a fight tied to a 6.5 million transmission line funding item. The line would connect the TVA with a private plant at West Memphis Arkansas and affect a 107 million dollar Dixon Yates plant under a 25 year AEC contract.

The 6 million line is tiny in a 1.28 billion dollar bill covering TVA AEC and Army projects and could determine the bill’s fate with votes due Thursday or Friday.
