    projects shall be delivered to the Secretary of Energy who shall


    transmit and dispose of such power and energy in such manner as to


    encourage the most widespread use thereof at the lowest possible


    rates to consumers consistent with sound business principles, the


    rate schedules to become effective upon confirmation and approval


    by the Secretary of Energy. Rate schedules shall be drawn having


    regard to the recovery (upon the basis of the application of such


    rate schedules to the capacity of the electric facilities of the

    energy, including the amortization of the capital investment

    from funds to be appropriated by the Congress, to construct or


    acquire, by purchase or other agreement, only such transmission


    lines and related facilities as may be necessary in order to make


    the power and energy generated at said projects available in


    wholesale quantities for sale on fair and reasonable terms and


    conditions to facilities owned by the Federal Government, public


    bodies, cooperatives, and privately owned companies.  All moneys


    received from such sales shall be deposited in the Treasury of the


    United States as miscellaneous receipts.
