I hope. in aiding local public housing authorities to meet the rising cost of maintenance and operation. We have also provided additional funds for the very important section 235 homeownership assistance program and the section 236 rental housing program. The conference report adopted the House provisions on farm housing. which will liberalize a number of programs for housing in rural areas. particularly for migrant farm laborers. I would urge the Secretary of IUD to take all necessary steps. immediately. to assure that the benefits of the section 235 program are limited to families which cannot afford to obtain decent homes without subsidy. This has been a matter which has been before our committee all year and before the full House. it has been discussed and debated considerably. so that I urge the Secretary to proceed along these lines with all deliberate speed.
