Speaker. I have today introduced in the House of Represzntatives a joint resolution relating to the exercise of powers under the Emergency Price Control Act of 1942 and under certain other provisions of law. which. if enacted. would have the effect of taking away from the Administrator of the Office of Price Administration the powers under such provisions of law which have heretofore been exercised by such Administrator. The resolution. however. reserves to the President the authority to designate .by Executive order to such other officers or agencies of the Government such provisions of the law as he may deem necessary. having in. mind. for instance. authority for the President to assign to the National Housing Authority control over rents and housing. this being necessary. in my opinion. to protect the war workers and migrants scattered all over the United States. until they can return to their permanent domiciles. It is not necessary for me to reiterate my reasons for this action at this time. Mr.
