Be it enacted hy the Senate and House of Representatives 
of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled, That section 6 of the 
District of Columbia Redevelopment Act of 1945 (District of Colum-
bia Code, sec. 5-705) is amended by adding at the end thereof the 
following new subsection: 
"(e) Prior to the adoption of an urban renewal plan by the 
Planning Commission and approval by the District Commissioners, 
the Agency may exercise the powers granted to it by this Act, for the 
acquisition and disposition of real property, the demolition and 
removal of buildings or structures, the relocation of site occupants, 
and the construction of site improvements for the purpose of providing 
a site for a new facility to replace Shaw Junior High School within 
the boundaries which may be established for any urban renewal project 
area: Provided, That (1) the District Commissioners, after a public 
hearing, and the Planning Commission approve the acquisition and 
disposition of all such property or properties; and (2) the District 
Commissioners agree to assume the responsibility to bear any loss that 
may arise as a result of the exercise of authority under this subsection 
in the event that the property is not used for urban renewal purposes 
because the urban renewal plan is not approved by all appropriate 
authorities or because such urban renewal plan, as approved by all 
appropriate authorities does not include such property or properties 
or IS amended to omit any of the acquired property, or is abandoned 
for any reason. The District Commissioners and the appropriate 
agencies operating within the District of Columbia are authorized to 
do any and all things necessary to secure financial assistance under 
title I of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended, to acquire and prepare 
a site for a new facility to replace Shaw Junior High School. 
The 
District Commissioners are authorized to assume the responsibilities 
described in this subsection and, to carry out the purposes of this sub-
section, the District Commissioners and the Agency are authorized to 
borrow money pursuant to the early land acquisition provisions of title 
I of the Housing xAct of 1949, as amended, and to issue obligations 
evidencing such loans and to make such pledges as may be required to 
secure such loans." 
Approved September 12, 1966.
