TRUMAN'S ANNUAL MESSAGE TO THE CONGRESS ON THE STATE OF THE UNION<br /></font><font color="#000000"><font class="spacer">?<br /></font><font class="text">January 6, 1947</font></font></font></p><p><font color="#990000" size="4"><strong>HOUSING<br /></strong></font><font class="text" size="4"><strong>The third major policy is also of great Importance to the national economy-an aggressive program to encourage home construction. The first Federal program to relieve the veterans' housing shortage was announced in February 1946. In 1946 one million family housing units have been put under construction and more than 665,000 units have already been completed. The rate of expansion in construction has broken all records.<br />In the coming year the number of dwelling units built will approach, if not surpass, the top construction year of 1926. The primary responsibility to deliver housing at reasonable prices that veterans can afford rests with private industry and with labor. The Government will continue to expedite the flow of key building materials, to limit nonresidential construction, and to give financial support where it will do the most good. Measures to stimulate rental housing and new types of housing construction will receive special emphasis.<br />To reach our long-range goal of adequate housing for all our people, comprehensive housing legislation is urgently required, similar to the non-partisan bill passed by the Senate last year. At a minimum, such legislation should open the way for rebuilding the blighted areas of our cities and should establish positive incentives for the investment of billions of dollars of private capital in large-scale rental housing projects. It should provide for improvement of housing in rural areas and for the construction, over a 4-year period, of half a million units of public low-rental housing. It should authorize a single peacetime Federal housing agency to assure efficient use of our resources on the vast housing front.</strong></font></p><p><strong><font size="4"></font></strong></p><p><font size="6">杜鲁门:The buck stops here</font></p> |
