No. 166 Session of 1977
INTRODUCED BY MESSRS. BITTENGER, STEWART, REED, ENGLEHART,
DeWEESE, HALVERSON AND LETTERMAN, NOVEMBER 15, 1977
AS REPORTED FROM COMMITTEE ON FEDERAL-STATE RELATIONS, HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES, AS AMENDED, JANUARY 30, 1978
In the House of Representatives, November 14, 1977
1 WHEREAS, Current Federal regulation REGULATIONS of the <--
2 Department of Housing and Urban Development provides that
3 eligibility for Federal funds in certain circumstances regarding
4 repair and reconstruction work in a major disaster situation
5 depends upon the inclusion of the organization, firm or
6 individual performing the work on a list selected by a regional
7 director; and
8 WHEREAS, This provision precludes an individual, not on this <--
9 list, who performs work on his own property in this situation
10 from eligibility for such Federal funds; and
11 WHEREAS, This aspect of the result of the regulation is <--
12 manifestly unfair to an individual who choses to do repair or
13 reconstruction work on his own property in lieu of engaging a
14 listed organization, firm or individual; therefore be it
15 RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the
16 Commonwealth of Pennsylvania memorialize the Congress of the
17 United States to direct the Department of Housing and Urban
1 Development to take steps to rectify this injustice; and be it
2 further
3 RESOLVED, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to
4 the presiding officers of each House of the Congress of the
5 United States and to each Senator and Representative from
6 Pennsylvania in the Congress of the United States.
