Aandahl Outlines Power Policy for Federal Dams
Assistant Interior Secretary Fred G Aandahl defended a Missouri Basin power plan before a House interior subcommittee saying farmer owned REA co ops and public power groups do not hold exclusive perpetual rights to federal dam power. He described a three part policy giving preference to these groups, selling excess power in short term contracts to private utilities, and long term private contracts without recapture clauses. He warned removing withdrawal would alter established policy and stressed local communities may accept retail systems while sharing federal power benefits.
