with the receipt of a letter
from Governor Walter A. Gordon,
today, the Citizens Committee on
Public Housing has received an
official answer from all govern
mental bodies involved in the
matter of Public Housing in the
Virgin Islands. Previously the
Virgin Islands Housing and Re

sented to it by the Committee, the
letter from the Governor today
not only advised of his position
In the matter, but contained the
written statement outlining the
position of the Federal Public
Housing Administration on low
cost housing in St. Thomas.
So that the general public may
know the official position con-
corning the proposed low-cost
housing, and its location, and be-
cause the Citizens Committee has
failed to make public the answers

In his letter to Mr.. Brewer,
Chairman of the Citizens Com
mittee, the Governor pointed out
that he had taken enough time
working with the Virgin Islands
Housing Authority and the PHA
to learn the facts as they exist.
He said that he had had a meet
ing at which the local Housing
Authority as well as representa-

recommendations to him, and that
these recommendations merely
confirmed the stand he had al
ready taken that the official
agencies involved in public hous-
ing are complying with the rules
and regulations established by the
Congress of the United States,
and that no other course of action
is possible.
The Governor pointed out that
as Governor he has no authority
to make decisions as to the loca-

decisions are reached by the
