"NATIONAL
prices which families of moderate income,
particularly veterans' families, can afford to pay.
You also desperately need low-cost rental housing
so that the thousands of families living here in temporary
dwellings can be taken care of.

into session and asked it to pass the Taft-Ellender-Wagner Bill
which would have given us more housing at lower prices and
at lower rents.
This bill was bitterly opposed by the housing lobby.
The Republican leadership had a choice to make between
the interests of the housing lobby and the interests of the people.
