SECTION 1. TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY.

    (a) Discontinuance of Appropriations.--Section 27 of the Tennessee

``for fiscal years through fiscal year 2000'' before the period.

of Management and Budget shall develop and submit a plan to Congress 
that--
            (1) reviews the nonpower activities conducted by the 
        Tennessee Valley Authority using appropriated funds;
            (2) determines whether the nonpower activities performed by 
        the Tennessee Valley Authority can be adequately performed by 
        other Federal agencies, and if so, describes the resources 
        needed by other agencies to perform such activities;
            (3) describes ongoing Federal interest in the continuation 
        of the nonpower activities currently performed by the Tennessee

        carry out the objectives of this Act.
