Well, the present public housing program now provides for the construction of twenty thousand units in the present fiscal year. However, the future of the public housing program is yet in the balance. That is to be determined by what the administration will recommend, and what Congress will pass this year or the following year of 1954 and 55. On the basis of the President's statement, it would appear, however, that the President believes that there is a continuing need for public housing, pending the demonstrated progress of other programs to meet the need of people in low incomes and their desire to obtain decent housing.
