T.V.A.


Resolution Adopted by the CCAR

T.V.A .

Digests of resolutions adopted by the

Central Conference of American Rabbis

between 1889 and 1974

1. We highly commend the President on his reappointment of David Lilienthal as

director

of the Tennessee Valley Authority. We believe that the operation of this

agency has

done more than any single instrument to prove that planning by government is

efficient and can improve the standard of living of the entire community. We

endorse the

proposed Missouri Valley Authority. (1945, p. 122)

2. We note with profound approval the record of the T.V.A. in the prevention

of floods

and in the provision of low-cost electric power to the people. We urge

Congress not

to hamper the T.V.A. by the injection of partisan politics into its

administration.
