to encourage them I have recon-
mended to the Congress on several
occasions, beginning as early as the
spring of 1941, that Federal aid
ought to be provided for such de-
tailed plan preparation. But legis-
lation to authorize appropriations
for such Federal aid is still pending
in the Congress
Perhaps, however, upon the basis
Of the pioneering done by New York
in this field, the Congress will be
inclined to consider favorably the
recommendations I have made"
