Eisenhower backs housing bill with objections noted
President Eisenhower urged Congress to act quickly to revise the new housing law he signed, citing serious objections to provisions. He praised the bill for anti slum aims and mortgage insurance, enabling moderate income families to buy or improve homes, and for authorizing 45 000 new public housing units and 4 billion dollars for FHA mortgage insurance. He argued the full program should unfold over two years with local and federal cooperation, while opposing slum clearance and urban redevelopment provisions tied to public housing funding.
