Perhaps inspired by those ^{noble &} stirring sentiments, Earlier this year, The Congressional Black Caucus, composed of the thirteen representatives in the United States House of Representatives who represent us all, presented a series of recommendations to President Nixon.

Under the topic "Housing and Urban Development", they asked for:
- $150 million in supplemental funds for public housing;
- Implementation of the Uniform Rehabilitation Act to insure an adequate stock of moderate and low income housing for displaced persons;
- A uniform policy of site selection for HUD, to avoid reinforcement of housing segregation, and the amendment of Executive Order 11512 to assure that all residential communites are open to all economic and racial groups as a condition of eligibility for location of federal installations.
