To the Members of the Committee on Banking and Currency: This committee print is a revision of the May 15, 1967, committee print entitled "The Basic Laws and Authorities on Housing and Urban Development." The compilation of laws and authorities contained in this committee print was provided in response to numerous requests from Members of Congress and the public. The revision is made necessary by laws enacted in 1967 and the issuance of new Executive orders by the President. The laws, Executive orders, and other authorities contained in the print are those which authorize the functions and activities of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, or which are closely related to those functions and activities. For convenience, cross references are made in the committee print to other laws that are related to the activities of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, such as the rural renewal provisions of the Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant Act. These laws are not set forth, but the cross references are accompanied by the United States Code citations to the laws. The laws and authorities are arranged in the committee print in accordance with their subject matter. They are divided principally between housing, urban development, related functions and provisions, and organization and administration of the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The table of contents and index assist in use of the committee print. There is also included in the publication an identification of programs of the Department frequently referred to by section number. The committee has been assisted in the preparation of this revised compilation by the Office of General Counsel in the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
