Congress Accelerates Toward Early Adjournment in 1940 Debate
Congress speeds to adjourn as leaders plan to drop secondary measures and pursue Barkley’s program. The Senate and House have passed only five major bills out of 7,857 introduced, prioritizing economy and foreign affairs while risking battles over Wagner Act revision and tax changes. President’s requests face cuts. WPA funding largely unchanged. The session nears its fourth week with at least two and a half more months anticipated.

TVA Seeks Funds as Testimony Praises Its Performance
The committee reports the TVA act has been efficiently carried out by authorities. It urges Congress to fund dam programs along the Tennessee Valley and uses TVA rates as a yardstick for private industry. Analysts project power income after 10 dams at 22.93 million annually with 2.822 million profit, hoping revenues cover navigation flood control and recoup investment in about 50 years. All power would stay within TVA territory if private utility properties are bought.
