Slocum headed the operation.'' ''The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers operates and maintains the dam. Southwestern Power Administration wholesales the power within a six-state region including Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas. About 800,000 megawatt hours of power is sold annually.'' |
