Chesly Manly, “Public Housing Raising Density of Population,” Chicago Daily Tribune, September 11, 1956
There is still time for Congress to enact a second housing bill, and I once again urge that it do so. These things can be and ought to be done: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5)
remove the ceiling on FHA mortgage insurance authority; extend the FHA program for insurance of property improvement loans; enact reasonable authorizations for urban renewal grants and college housing loans and adjust the interest rate on the latter; extend the voluntary home mortgage credit program; and adjust the statutory interest rate ceilings governing mortgages insured under FHA’s regular rental and cooperative housing programs.
President Dwight D. Eisenhower, Veto of the Second Housing and Urban Renewal Bill, Sept 4, 1959
