Pete Domenici: “I want to change to another subject, and that is the Tennessee Valley Authority and the $75 million that was, this year…”

On the recordSeptember 29, 1998
I want to change to another subject, and that is the Tennessee Valley Authority and the $75 million that was, this year, put in the President's budget for the nonpower aspects of the Tennessee Valley Authority. Mr. President, I hope that nobody is trying to make political hay out of the fact that the U.S. House of Representatives would not fund the $75 million for the TVA in this year's appropriations bill, and as a consequence we did not fund it. Let me tell you why the House would not fund it, and make sure that the Record is replete with the background information that the U.S. House had last year and this year regarding the $75 million.
