TITLE II—PLANNED METROPOLITAN DEVELOPMENT F I N D I N G S AND DECLARATION OF PURPOSE

SEC. 201. (a) The Congress hereby finds that the welfare of the Nation and of its people is directly dependent upon the sound and orderly development and the effective organization and functioning of the metropolitan areas in which two-thirds of its people live and work. I t further finds that the continuing rapid growth of these areas makes it essential that they prepare, keep current, and carry out comprehensive plans and programs for their orderly physical development with a view to meeting efficiently all their economic and social needs. I t further finds that metropolitan areas are especially handicapped in this task by the complexity and scope of governmental services required in such rapidly growing areas, the multiplicity of political jurisdictions and agencies involved, and the inadequacy of the operational and administrative arrangements available for cooperation among them. I t further finds that present requirements for areawide planning and programing in connection with various Federal programs have materially assisted in the solution of metropolitan problems, but that greater coordination of Federal programs and additional participation and cooperation are needed from the States and localities in perfecting and carrying out such efforts. (b) I t is the purpose of this title to provide, through greater coordination of Federal programs and through supplementary grants for certain federally assisted development projects, additional encouragement and assistance to States and localities for making comprehensive metropolitan planning and programing effective. COOPERATION BETWEEN FEDERAL AGENCIES

SEC. 202. In order to insure that all Federal programs related to metropolitan development are carried out in a coordinated manner— (1) the Secretary is authorized to call upon other Federal agencies to supply such statistical data, program reports, and other materials as he deems necessary to discharge his responsibilities for metropolitan development, and to assist the President in coordinating the metropolitan development efforts of all Federal agencies; and (2) all Federal agencies which are engaged in administering programs related to metropolitan development, or which otherwise perform functions relating thereto, shallj to the maximum extent practicable, consult with and seek advice from all other 65-300 0-67—82
