These bills would discourage further concentration of population in large crowded metropolitan areas and the intensification of presently existing urban problems. I feel that the passage of these bills would help to encourage a national policy of urbanrural balance. Rural emigration to urban areas has created a crisis for each. The only permanent solution lies in a reversal of our emigration trenda trend that is illogical and dangerous under present conditions. I hope that the Congress will act to encourage rural residence. and strike at the heart of the emigration problemthe lack of opportunity for employment in nonfarm production and services. I feel that the incentives proposed in these bills are in the best interest of our rural community. our urban areas. and of the Nation as a whole and its future.
