Secretary of Agriculture Orville Freeman agrees. In a speech of January 30. 1967. he said: An unplanned policy of exporting rural problems to the city has thrown urban America into the rural crisis. For the affluent of the city. the unchecked migration means more crowding. higher taxes. more hours consumed in commuting. as urban sprawl continues unabated. For migrants already in the teeming ghettos. further immigration means less opportunity and rising despair. Secretary Freeman notes that we still have not considered what measures of population balance is desirable: We lack any accepted national goal in rural/urban balance. We have no policy.
