In the background is a view of the Norris Dam north of Knoxville, Tennessee, named in honor of the Senator for his part in bringing into actuality the Tennessee Valley Authority Act of 1933. An adaptation of a tribute by the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt appears in the lower left portion of the stamp.
