§9104 — Title 31 Money and Finance | U.S. Code

Summary

Congress must review budget plans the President sends for wholly owned Government corporations. Congress must provide any lawful appropriations, make corporate funds available for operations and administration, and arrange to repay capital and pay dividends. It does not stop a wholly owned Government corporation from doing or funding activities allowed by other laws; does not affect section 26 of the Tennessee Valley Authority Act of 1933 (16 U.S.C. 831y); and does not limit a corporation’s ability to make commitments that are not tied to a single fiscal year.
