_Informing and Advising the Congress_: A large number of statutes require reports which appear not so much directed at enforcing responsibility on the part of executive agencies as eliciting information and specialized advice for policy-making. In 1934 Congress required the Federal Power Commission to submit a report and analysis of rate schedules charged by private and municipal utility companies at the earliest practicable date.[604] The Tennessee Valley Authority Act[605] contains a reporting requirement commonly found in legislation pertaining to newly established programs. The President was directed to recommend to Congress such legislation as he deemed proper to carry out the general purposes stated in the law.[606] His recommendations were to be made from time to time as work progressed. In 1934 Congress authorized the President “to appoint a Commission composed of five members ... for the purpose of making an immediate study and survey, and to report to Congress not later than February 1, 1935, its recommendations of a broad policy covering all phases of aviation and the relation of the United States thereto.”[607] In setting up the Federal Communications Commission in 1934 Congress indicated that it expected the Commission’s annual reports to contain information and advice facilitating further congressional policy-making in the communications field. The Commission was directed to prepare an annual report for the Congress which would contain information and data collected by the Commission considered to be of value in the determination of questions connected with the Commission’s regulatory responsibilities involving wire and radio communication and radio transmission of energy. The Commission was also required to submit recommendations for additional legislation in the report if the Commission believed it necessary. And on February 1, 1935 the Commission was specifically directed to make a special report to the Congress recommending amendments to the F.C.C. Act.[608]
