The subcommittee met, pursuant to call, at 10 a.m., in room 2128, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. William A. Barrett (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding. Present: Representatives Barrett, Sullivan, Ashley, Moorhead, Stephens, St Germain, Gonzalez, Reuss, Minish, Widnall, Dwyer, Brown, Stanton, Blackburn, and Heckler. Mr. BARRETT. The meeting will come to order. This morning we begin hearings on housing and urban development legislation. We welcome as our first witness the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, the Honorable George Romney. Mr. Secretary, members of the subcommittee, and those in the audience, I think it is obvious to all that we have before us this year the most comprehensive and far-reaching housing and urban development legislation since the passage of the Housing Act of 1949. That act established our great national goal-"a decent home and a suitable living environment for every American family." We have tried to move toward the achievement of that goal for more than 20 years, often successfully, but many times not. Now, after more than 20 years of expanding old programs and adding new ones, it is time to review what we have done and rationalize and consolidate our efforts. The administration's proposals for special revenue sharing for community development and for a consolidating and simplifying our many housing programs are important first steps in that direction. The members of the Housing Subcommittee-and I believe I speak for Members on both sides-believe that the bill recommended by our three panels is another important step. Our housing and urban development problems do not distinguish between Democratic and Republican communities. They affect all of our communities and all of our citizens. We should approach the various solutions to those problems in the same way, and I am reasonably certain I speak for my colleague, Mr. Widnall, in this respect. We hope to have the most comprehensive and important hearings in the history of this subcommittee on three important bills, H.R. 9688, H.R. 9331, and H.R. 8853. We will hear from representatives of the administration; the Nation's Governors, mayors, county leaders, (1) |
