Carmichael, traced the history of Freeport's efforts to obt.^ln a slum-clearance project for the community from late in 1951. He said things were progressing nicely until in 1953 Congress limit ed the number of housing units to 20,000 for 1954 and on September 2, 1953 the commission was instructed to shut tip sliop and liquidate its planning, and as quickly as pos sible forwarded the plans to Wash ington.
