They said current law is too restrictive and expect changes. Albert M. Cole noted Eisenhower may seek 70 000 new units over two years, vs 146 000 over four years requested. Congress authorized 35 000 annually. The plan targets low income families with federal subsidies covering shortfalls. Sparkman urged a flexible law allowing yearly recommendations by the President and Budget Bureau with final congressional approval.
