President backs slum housing work as moral duty
President Eisenhower told Olin Linn that Americans of all parties accept providing decent housing for those in slums as a moral obligation. He praised citizen groups and noted the two day National Housing Conference meeting. The letter did not mention the administration’s request to fund low rent housing at 25,000 units next year, a plan the House rejected while the Senate panel suggests restoring funds at 35,000 units.
