The National Transportation Safety Board seeks to assure that all types oftransportation in the United States are conducted safely. The Boardinvestigates accidents, conducts studies, and makes recommendations to



Government agencies, the transportation i ndustry, and others on safetymeasures and practices.

The National Transportation Safety Board was established as anindependent agency of the Federal Government on April 1, 1975, by theIndependent Safety Board Act of 1974 (49 U.S.C. app. 1901).

The Safety Board consists of five members appointed by the

President with the advice and consent of the Senate for 5-year terms. ThePresident designates two of these members as Chairman and Vice Chairman ofthe Board for 2-year terms. The desig nation of the Chairman is made withthe advice and consent of the Senate.

Activities

Accident Investigation

The Board is responsible for investigating, determining probable cause,making safety recommendations, and reporting the facts and circumstancesof:

-- U.S. civil aviation accidents;

-- railroad accidents in which there is a fatality orsubstantial property damage, or that involve a passenger train;

-- pipeline accidents in which there is a fatality orsubstantial property damage;

-- highway accidents, including railroad grade-crossingaccidents, which the Board selects in cooperation with the States;

-- major marine casualties, and marine accidents involving apublic vessel and a nonpublic vessel, in accordance with regulations

prescribed jointly by the Board and the U.S. Coast Guard; and

-- other transportation accidents that are catastrophic,involve problems of a recurring character, or otherwise should beinvestigated in the judgment of the Board.

Safety Problem Identification

In addition, the Board makes recommendations on matters pertaining totransportation safety and is a catalyst for transportation accidentprevention by conducting safety studies and special investigations,assessing technique s of accident investigation and publishing recommendedprocedures for these investigations, establishing regulatory requirements

for reporting accidents, evaluating the transportation safetyconsciousness and efficacy of other Government agencies in the p reventionof accidents, evaluating the adequacy of safeguards and proceduresconcerning the transportation of hazardous materials and the performanceof other Government agencies charged with ensuring the safe transportationof such materials, and reporti ng annually to the Congress on itsactivities.

Certificate or License Appeal

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission licenses and regulates civilian use ofnuclear energy to protect public health and safety and the environment.This is achieved by licensing persons and companies to build and operatenuclear reactors and other facilities and to own and use nuclear



materials. The Commission makes rules and sets standards for these typesof licenses. It also carefully inspects the activities of the persons andcompanies licensed to ensure that they do not violate the safety rules ofthe Co mmission.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) was established as anindependent regulatory agency under the provisions of the EnergyReorganization Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 5801) and Executive Order 11834 of

January 15, 1975, effective January 19, 1975. Transferred to theCommission were all licensing and related regulatory functions formerlyassigned to the Atomic Energy Commission, which was established by theAtomic Energy Act of 1946 (60 Stat. 755), as amended by the Atomic EnergyAct of 1954, as am ended (42 U.S.C. 2011 et seq.).

The Commission's major program components are the Office ofNuclear Reactor Regulation, the Office of Nuclear Material Safety andSafeguards, and the Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research, which werecreated by the Energy Reorganization Act of 1 974. Headquarters officesare located in suburban Maryland, and there are four regional offices.

The Commission ensures that the civilian uses of nuclear

materials and facilities are conducted in a manner consistent with thepublic health and safety, environmental quality, national security, andthe antitrust laws. The major share of the Co mmission's effort is focusedon regulating the use of nuclear energy to generate electric power.

Activities

The Commission fulfills its responsibilities through a system oflicensing and regulation that includes:

-- licensing the construction and operation of nuclear reactorsand other nuclear facilities and the possession, use, processing,handling, and disposal of nuclear materials;

-- regulating licensed activities including assurance thatmeasures are taken for the physical protection of facilities andmaterials;

-- developing and implementing of rules and regulationsgoverning licensed nuclear activities;

-- inspecting licensee facilities and activities;

-- investigating nuclear incidents and allegations concerningany matter regulated by NRC;

-- enforcing NRC licenses and regulations by the issuance oforders, civil penalties, and other types of actions;

-- conducting public hearings on nuclear and radiologicalsafety, environmental concerns, common defense and security, and antitrustmatters; and

-- developing effective working relationships with the Statesregarding the regulation of nuclear materials.

This relationship includes the assurance that adequate



regulatory programs are maintained by those States that exercise, byagreement with the Commission, regulatory control over certain nuclearmaterials within their respective borders. In addi tion, a systematicreview of operational data, including reports of accidents and otherevents, from nuclear powerplants is performed in order to detect trendsthat will better enable the agency to forecast and solve safety problems.Inspection of Commiss ion-licensed activities is carried out from fourregional offices. In addition, resident inspectors have been assigned to

reactor sites.

The Commission also contracts for research deemed necessary forperforming licensing and related regulatory functions.

The Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission works to ensure thetimely and fair resolution of cases involving the alleged exposure ofAmerican workers to unsafe or unhealthy working conditions.

The Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission is anindependent, quasi-judicial agency established by the Occupational Safetyand Health Act of 1970 (29 U.S.C. 651-678).

The Commission is charged with ruling on cases forwarded to itby the Department of Labor when disagreements arise over the results ofsafety and health inspections performed by the Department's OccupationalSafety and Health Administration. Emp loyers have the right to dispute any

alleged job safety or health violation found during the inspection by theAdministration, the penalties it proposed, and the time given by theagency to correct any hazardous situation. Employees and representativesof employees may initiate a case by challenging the propriety of the timethe Administration has allowed for correction of any violative condition.

The Occupational Safety and Health Act covers virtually everyemployer in the country. Enforced by the Secretary of Labor, the act is aneffort to reduce the incidence of personal injuries, illness, and deathsamong working men and women in the United States that result from theiremployment. It requires employers to furnish to each of their employees aworking environment free from recognized hazards that are causing orlikely to cause death or serious physical harm to the employees and to

comp ly with occupational safety and health standards promulgated underthe act.

Activities

The Commission was created to adjudicate enforcement actionsinitiated under the act when they are contested by employers, employees,or representatives of employees. A case arises when a citation is issuedagainst an employer as the result of a n Occupational Safety and HealthAdministration inspection and it is contested within 15 working days.



The Commission is more of a court system than a simple tribunal,for within the Commission there are two levels of adjudication. All casesthat require a hearing are assigned to an administrative law judge, whodecides the case. Ordinarily the h earing is held in the community wherethe alleged violation occurred or as close as possible. At the hearing,the Secretary of Labor will generally have the burden of proving the case.After the hearing, the judge must issue a decision, based on findings offact and conclusions of law.

A substantial number of the decisions of the judges become finalorders of the Commission. However, each decision is subject todiscretionary review by the three members of the Commission upon thedirection of any one of the three, if done withi n 30 days of the filingof the decision. When that occurs, the Commission issues its own decision.

Once a case is decided, any person adversely affected oraggrieved thereby may obtain a review of the decision in the United StatesCourts of Appeals.

The principal office of the Commission is in Washington, DC.There are also four regional offices where Commission judges are

stationed.

The Peace Corps' purpose is to promote world peace and friendship, to helpother countries in meeting their needs for trained manpower, and to helppromote understanding between the American people and other peoples servedby the Peace Corps. The Peace Co rps Act emphasizes the Peace Corps'commitment toward programming to meet the basic needs of those living inthe poorest countries in which it operates.

The Peace Corps was established by the Peace Corps Act of 1961,as amended (22 U.S.C. 2501), and was made an independent agency by titleVI of the International Security and Development Cooperation Act of 1981(22 U.S.C. 2501-1).



The Peace Corps consists of a Washington, DC, headquarters; 16area recruitment offices; and overseas operations in more than 90countries. Its presence in foreign countries fluctuates as programs areadded or withdrawn.

Activities

To fulfill the Peace Corps mandate, men and women are trainedfor a 9- to 14-week period in the appropriate local language, thetechnical skills necessary for their particular job, and thecross-cultural skills needed to adjust to a society with traditions andattitudes different from their own. Volunteers serve for a period of 2years, living among the people with whom they work. Volunteers areexpected to become a part of the community and to demonstrate, throughtheir voluntary service, that people can be an important impetus forchange.

Thousands of volunteers serve throughout Latin America, Africa,the Near East, Asia, the Pacific, and Central and Eastern Europe and workin six program areas, including: education, agriculture, health, small

business development, urban developm ent, and the environment.Community-level projects are designed to incorporate the skills ofvolunteers with the resources of host-country agencies and otherinternational assistance organizations to help solve specific developmentproblems, often in conj unction with private volunteer organizations. ThePeace Corps is presently in an expansion mode which will result in newprograms in Africa, the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, LatinAmerica, and other geographic areas, over the next several years.

In the United States, the Peace Corps is working to promote anunderstanding of peoples in other countries. Through its World WiseSchools Program, volunteers are matched with elementary and junior highschools in the United States to encourage an exchange of letters,

pictures, music, and artifacts. Participating students increase theirknowledge of geography, languages, and different cultures, as well as togain an appreciation for voluntarism.

The Peace Corps offers other domestic programs involving formervolunteers, universities, local public school systems, and privatebusinesses and foundations in a partnership to help solve some of our mostserious domestic problems. It is workin g to implement this initiativethroughout the United States.

To help support Peace Corps' domestic program and communityneeds overseas, the Peace Corps Office of Private Sector Relations workswith schools, civic groups, businesses, and neighborhood and youth

organizations in the United States to facilit ate their support of PeaceCorps initiatives here and abroad.

The Pennsylvania Avenue Development Corporation is a Federal agencyresponsible for revitalizing Pennsylvania Avenue between the White Houseand the Capitol. A comprehensive plan, prepared by the agency and approved

by Congress in 1975, guides development in a 21-block section ofPennsylvania Avenue and the adjacent blocks north of the avenue.

The Pennsylvania Avenue Development Corporation was establishedas a wholly owned Federal corporation by act of October 27, 1972, asamended (40 U.S.C. 871 et seq.).

The Corporation is governed by a 15-member Board of Directors.Eight members are appointed by the President from the private sector for6-year terms; seven serve by virtue of their positions in the Federal orDistrict of Columbia Governments. Th ere are also eight nonvoting membersrepresenting Federal and District organizations with expertise incultural, planning, and architectural matters.

Activities

The Corporation's activities to revitalize Pennsylvania Avenuetake two forms. First, using funds appropriated by Congress, theCorporation undertakes projects which improve the public areas andambience of Pennsylvania Avenue. These projects in clude repaving andlandscaping the Avenue and adjacent areas, facilitating traffic patterns,and preserving the designated historic landmarks. Also, it has completedseven parks and open spaces along the Avenue and sponsors people-orientedactivities with in the area.



The second part of the Corporation's activity involves apartnership with the private sector to develop projects compatible withthe Pennsylvania Avenue Plan. It uses funds borrowed from the UnitedStates Treasury to assemble land for housing, o ffice buildings, retailuses, hotels, and community arts space. The Corporation makes publicofferings of development opportunities on sites, and either sells theproperty or enters into long-term leases with developers selected to carry

out individual pr ojects. The proceeds from the leases or sales are usedto retire the agency's debt to the Treasury.

In carrying out the plan, the Corporation works closely with anumber of Federal agencies, including the Commission of Fine Arts, theNational Capital Planning Commission, the Advisory Council on HistoricPreservation, and the National Park Serv ice. It also works closely in theimplementation of the plan with relevant agencies of the District ofColumbia government.

The Federal Triangle Development Act, approved August 21, 1987,gave the Corporation the authority to plan and implement, in consultationwith the General Services Administration, the development of a

3.1-million-square-foot complex for Federal offices and trade-relatedactivities.


Publications

The Pennsylvania Avenue Plan (1974), as approved by Congress in May 1975,and Amendments to the Pennsylvania Avenue Plan (November 1990) describesthe program for comprehensive revitalization of the designated area.Copies of these documents, as well as the Corporation's annual report andother supplementary materials, are available upon request.

[Insert Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation chart]@U0

The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation guarantees payment ofnonforfeitable pension benefits in covered private sector-defined benefitpension plans.

Title IV of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974(29 U.S.C. 1301-1461) established the Pension Benefit Guaranty

Corporation, which is a self-financing, wholly owned Governmentcorporation subject to the provisions of the Governmen t CorporationControl Act (31 U.S.C. 9101-9109). The Corporation is governed by a Boardof Directors consisting of the Secretaries of Labor, Commerce, and theTreasury. The Secretary of Labor is Chairman of the Board. A seven-memberAdvisory Committee, co mposed of two labor, two business, and three publicmembers appointed by the President, advises the agency on various matters.

Activities

Coverage

Title IV provides for coverage of most private sector-defined benefit

pension plans that provide a benefit based on factors such as age, yearsof service, and average or highest salary.

The Corporation administers two benefit insurance programsseparately covering single-employer and multiemployer plans. Nearly 41million workers participate in approximately 66,000 covered plans.

Single-Employer Insurance

Under the single-employer program, the Corporation guarantees payment of acovered plan's nonforfeitable benefits if that plan terminates withoutsufficient assets to pay those guaranteed benefits. However, title IVlimits the to tal monthly benefit that the agency may guarantee for one

individual to $2,556.82 per month for a plan terminating during 1994, andrequires that it guarantee recent benefit increases on a phased-in basis.Under the 1987 amendments to title IV, the Corpor ation also pays aportion of the benefits above the guaranteed amount, based on PBGC'srecovery value of its termination liability claims.

A plan administrator may terminate a single-employer plan in a``standard'' or ``distress'' termination if certain procedural and legalrequirements are met. In either termination, the plan administrator mustinform participants in writing at le ast 60 days prior to the date theadministrator proposes to terminate the plan. Only a plan which hassufficient assets to fund all benefit liabilities may terminate in astandard termination. The Corporation also may institute termination

proceedings upo n the occurrence of certain events specified in title IV.

Multiemployer Insurance

Under title IV, as originally enacted, the Corporation guaranteednonforfeitable benefits for multiemployer plans in a similar fashion asfor single-employer plans. However, until August 1, 1980, the payment ofguaranteed benefits under multiemployer plans was at the agency'sdiscretion.

The Multiemployer Pension Plan Amendments Act of 1980 (29 U.S.C.



1001 note) revised title IV as applicable to multiemployer pension plansby changing the insurable event from plan termination to plan insolvency.In accordance with the act, the C orporation provides financial assistanceto plans that are unable to pay nonforfeitable benefits.

[For the Securities and Exchange Commission statement of organization, seethe Code of Federal Regulations, Title 17, Part 200]

@U1

[Insert Securities and Exchange Commission chart]@U0

The Securities and Exchange Commission administers Federal securities lawsthat seek to provide protection for investors; to ensure that securitiesmarkets are fair and honest; and, when necessary, to provide the means toenforce securities laws through sanctions.

The Securities and Exchange Commission was created underauthority of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a-78jj) andwas organized on July 2, 1934. The Commission serves as adviser to United

States district courts in connection with reorganization proceedings fordebtor corporations in which there is a substantial public interest. TheCommission also has certain responsibilities under section 15 of theBretton Woods Agreements Act of 1945 (22 U.S.C. 286k-1) and section 851(e)of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 (26 U.S.C. 851(e)).

The Commission is vested with quasi-judicial functions. Personsaggrieved by its decisions in the exercise of those functions have a rightof review by the United States Courts of Appeals.

Activities

Full and Fair Disclosure

The Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a) requires issuers of securitiesand their controlling persons making public offerings of securities ininterstate commerce or through the mails, directly or by others on theirbehalf, to file with the Commission registration statements containingfinancial and other pertinent data about the issuer and the securitiesbeing offered. It is unlawful to sell such securities unless aregistration statement is in effect. There are limited exemptions, such asGovernment securities, nonpublic offerings, and intrastate offerings, aswell as certain offerings not exceeding $1.5 million. The effectiveness ofa registration statement may be refused or suspended after a publichearing if the statement contains material misstatements or omissions,thus barring sale of the securities until it is appropriately amended.

Registration of securities does not imply approval of the issueby the Commission or that the Commission has found the registrationdisclosures to be accurate. It does not insure investors against loss intheir purchase, but serves rather to provide information upon whichinvestors may make an informed and realistic evaluation of the worth ofthe securities.

Persons responsible for filing false information with theCommission subject themselves to the risk of fine or imprisonment or both.Similarly, persons connected with the public offering may be liable for



damages to purchasers of the securities if the disclosures in theregistration statement and prospectus are materially defective. Also, theabove act contains antifraud provisions that apply generally to the saleof securities, whether or not registered (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.).

Regulation of Securities Markets

The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 assigns to the Commission broad

regulatory responsibilities over the securities markets, theself-regulatory organizations within the securities industry, and personsconducting a business in securities. Persons who execute transactions insecurities generally are required to register with the Commission asbroker-dealers. Securities exchanges and certain clearing agencies arerequired to register with the Commission, and associations of brokers ordealers are permitted to register with the Commission. The act alsoprovides for the establishment of the Municipal Securities RulemakingBoard to formulate rules for the municipal securities industry.

The Commission oversees the self-regulatory activities of thenational securities exchanges and associations, registered clearingagencies, and the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board. In addition, the

Commission regulates industry professionals, such as securities brokersand dealers, certain municipal securities professionals, governmentsecurities brokers and dealers, and transfer agents.

The act authorizes national securities exchanges, nationalsecurities associations, clearing agencies, and the Municipal SecuritiesRulemaking Board to adopt rules that are designed, among other things, topromote just and equitable principles of trade and to protect investors.The Commission is required to approve or disapprove most proposed rules ofthese self-regulatory organizations and has the power to abrogate or amendexisting rules of the national securities exchanges, national securitiesassociations, and the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board.

In addition, the Commission has broad rulemaking authority overthe activities of brokers, dealers, municipal securities dealers,securities information processors, and transfer agents. The Commission mayregulate such securities trading practices as short sales and stabilizingtransactions. It may regulate the trading of options on nationalsecurities exchanges and the activities of members of exchanges who tradeon the trading floors. The Commission may adopt rules governingbroker-dealer sales practices in dealing with investors. The Commissionalso is authorized to adopt rules concerning the financial responsibilityof brokers and dealers and reports made by them.

The act also requires the filing of registration statements andannual and other reports with national securities exchanges and the

Commission by companies whose securities are listed upon the exchanges,and by companies that have assets of $5 million or more and 500 or moreshareholders of record. In addition, companies that distributed securitiespursuant to a registration statement declared effective by the Commissionunder the Securities Act of 1933 must also file annual and other reportswith the Commission. Such applications and reports must contain financialand other data prescribed by the Commission as necessary or appropriatefor the protection of investors and to ensure fair dealing. In addition,the solicitation of proxies, authorizations, or consents from holders ofsuch registered securities must be made in accordance with rules andregulations prescribed by the Commission. These rules provide for



disclosures to securities holders of information relevant to the subjectmatter of the solicitation.

Disclosure of the holdings and transactions by officers,directors, and large (10-percent) holders of equity securities ofcompanies also is required, and any and all persons who acquire more than5 percent of certain equity securities are required to file detailedinformation with the Commission and any exchange upon which such

securities may be traded. Moreover, any person making a tender offer forcertain classes of equity securities is required to file reports with theCommission if, as a result of the tender offer, such person would own morethan 5 percent of the outstanding shares of the particular class of equitysecurity involved. The Commission also is authorized to promulgate rulesgoverning the repurchase by a corporate issuer of itsown securities.

Regulation of Mutual Funds and Other Investment

Companies The Investment Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a-1 -- 80a-64)requires investment companies to register with the Commission andregulates their activities to protect investors. The regulation coverssales load, management contracts, composition of boards of directors, and

capital structure.

The act prohibits investment companies from engaging in varioustransactions, including transactions with affiliated persons, unless theCommission first determines that such transactions are fair. In addition,the act provides a somewhat parallel but less stringent regulation ofbusiness development companies.

Under the act, the Commission may institute court action toenjoin the consummation of mergers and other plans of reorganization ofinvestment companies if such plans are unfair to security holders. It alsomay impose sanctions by administrative proceedings against investmentcompany management for violations of the act and other Federal securities

laws and file court actions to enjoin acts and practices of managementofficials involving breaches of fiduciary duty and personal misconduct andto disqualify such officials from office.

Regulation of Companies Controlling Utilities

The Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 (15 U.S.C. 79 -- 79z-6)provides for regulation by the Commission of the purchase and sale ofsecurities and assets by companies in electric and gas utility holdingcompany systems, their intrasystem transactions and service and managementarrangements. It limits holding companies to a single coordinated utilitysystem and requires simplification of complex corporate and capitalstructures and elimination of unfair distribution of voting power among

holders of system securities.

The issuance and sale of securities by holding companies andtheir subsidiaries, unless exempt (subject to conditions and terms thatthe Commission is empowered to impose) as an issue expressly authorized bythe State commission in the State inwhich the issuer is incorporated, mustbe found by the Commission to meet certain statutory standards.

The purchase and sale of utility properties and other assets maynot be made in contravention of rules, regulations, or orders of theCommission regarding the consideration to be received, maintenance of



competitive conditions, fees and commissions, accounts, disclosure ofinterest, and similar matters. In passing upon proposals forreorganization, merger, or consolidation, the Commission must be satisfiedthat the objectives of the act generally are complied with and that theterms of the proposal are fair and equitable to all classes of securityholders affected.

Regulation of Investment Advisers

The Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80b-1 -- 80b-21) providesthat persons who, for compensation, engage in the business of advisingothers with respect to securities must register with the Commission. Theactprohibits certain fee arrangements, makes fraudulent or deceptivepractices on the part of investment advisers unlawful, and requires, amongother things, disclosure of any adverse personal interests the advisersmay have in transactions that they effectfor clients. The act authorizesthe Commission, by rule, to define fraudulent and deceptive practices andprescribe means to prevent those practices.

Rehabilitation of Failing Corporations

Chapter 11, section 1109(a), of the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. 1109)provides for Commission participation as a statutory party in corporatereorganization proceedings administered in Federal courts. The principalfunctions of the Commission are to protect the interests of publicinvestors involved in such cases through efforts to ensure their adequaterepresentation, and to participate in legal and policy issues that are ofconcern to public investors generally.

Representation of Debt Securities Holders

The interests of purchasers of publicly offered debt securities issuedpursuant to trust indentures are safeguarded under the provisions of theTrust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. 77aaa-77bbbb). This act, among

other things, requires the exclusion from such indentures of certain typesof exculpatory clauses and the inclusion of certain protective provisions.The independence of the indenture trustee, who is a representative of thedebt holder, is assured by proscribing certain relationships that mightconflict with the proper exercise of his duties.

Enforcement Activities

The Commission's enforcement activities are designed to secure compliancewith the Federal securities laws administered by the Commission and therules and regulations adopted thereunder. These activities includemeasures to:

-- compel obedience to the disclosure requirements of theregistration and other provisions of the acts;

-- prevent fraud and deception in the purchase and sale ofsecurities;

-- obtain court orders enjoining acts and practices thatoperate as a fraud upon investors or otherwise violate the laws;

-- suspend or revoke the registrations of brokers, dealers, andinvestment companies and investment advisers who willfully engage in such



acts and practices;

-- suspend or bar from association persons associated withbrokers, dealers, investment companies and investment advisers who haveviolated any provision of the Federal securities laws; and

-- prosecute persons who have engaged in fraudulent activitiesor other willful violations of those laws.

In addition, attorneys, accountants, and other professionals whoviolate the securities laws face possible loss of their privilege topractice before the Commission.

To this end, private investigations are conducted intocomplaints or other indications of securities violations. Evidence thusestablished of law violations is used in appropriate administrativeproceedings to revoke registration or in actions instituted in Federalcourts to restrain or enjoin such activities. Where the evidence tends toestablish criminal fraud or other willful violation of the securitieslaws, the facts are referred to the Attorney General for criminalprosecution of the offenders. The Commission may assist in such

prosecutions.

The Tennessee Valley Authority conducts a unified program of resourcedevelopment for the advancement of economic growth in the Tennessee Valleyregion. The Authority's program of activities includes flood control,navigation development, electric power production, fertilizer development,recreation improvement, and forestry and wildlife development. While itspower program is financially self-supporting, other programs are financed

primarily by appropriations from Congress.

The Tennessee Valley Authority is a wholly owned Governmentcorporation created by act of May 18, 1933 (16 U.S.C. 831-831dd). Allfunctions of the Authority are vested in its three-member Board ofDirectors, the members of which are appointed by the President with theadvice and consent of the Senate. The President designates one member asChairman.

While its electric power program is required to be financiallyself-supporting, other programs are financed primarily by appropriations.

A system of dams built by the Authority on the Tennessee River

and its larger tributaries provides flood regulation on the Tennessee andcontributes to regulation of the lower Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. Thesystem maintains a continuous 9-foot-draft channel for navigation for thelength of the 650-mile Tennessee River main stream, from Paducah, KY, toKnoxville, TN. The dams harness the power of the rivers to produceelectricity. They also provide other benefits, including a major asset foroutdoor recreation.

The Authority operates the river control system and providesassistance to State and local governments in reducing local floodproblems. It also works with cooperating agencies to encourage full and



effective use of the navigable waterway by industry and commerce.

The Authority is the wholesale power supplier for many localmunicipal and cooperative electric systems serving customers in parts ofseven States. It supplies power to several Federal installations andindustries whose power requirements are large or unusual. Power to meetthese demands is supplied from dams, coal-fired powerplants, nuclearpowerplants, combustion turbine installations, and a pumped-storage

hydroelectric project operated by the Authority, U.S. Corps of Engineersdams in the Cumberland Valley; and Aluminum Company of America dams, whoseoperation is coordinated with the Authority's system. In economic andcommunity development programs, the Authority provides technicalassistance in areas including industrial development, regional wastemanagement, tourism promotion, community preparedness, and vanpoolorganization. It works withlocal communities and groups to develop maximumuse of available area resources. Working with regional learning centers,businesses, and industries, the agency has identified skills that areneeded in the high-technology job market and has set up training centers.

At Muscle Shoals, AL, the Authority operates a nationallaboratory for development of new and improved fertilizers and processes.

Research results are made available to industry. Fertilizers produced inthe demonstration facilities are distributed for use in research andeducational programs, principally farm test demonstrations anddemonstrations conducted through cooperative and wholesale fertilizerdistributors. It also conducts a major bioenergy research program.

In cooperation with other agencies, the Authority conductsresearch and development programs in forestry, fish and game, watershedprotection, health services related to its operations, and economicdevelopment of Tennessee Valley communities.

In the western part of Kentucky and Tennessee, the Authorityoperates Land Between the Lakes -- a demonstration project in outdoor

recreation, environmental education, and natural resource management.

The Trade and Development Agency (TDA) -- formerly the Trade andDevelopment Program -- was established on July 1, 1980, as a componentorganization of the International Development Cooperation Agency. Section2204 of the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 (22 U.S.C. 2421)made the organization a separate component agency of the InternationalDevelopment Cooperation Agency.
