However, this committee is the <br />outgrowth of a former organization composed of Federal De- <br />partments only which devoted its attention entirely to tech- <br />nical matters.

Several years ago there was some agitation to form, <br />in at least one of these basins, an administration like the <br />TVA. Opposition at that time was very vocal and intense. <br />
