Mr. Justice Marshall,
with whom Mr. Justice Brennan and Mr. Justice White join, concurring.
I dissented in Milliken v. Bradley, 418 U. S. 717 *307(1974), and I continue to believe that the Court's decision in that case unduly limited the federal courts’ broad equitable power to provide effective remedies for official segregation. In this case the Court distinguishes Milliken and paves the way for a remedial decree directing the Department of Housing and Urban Development to utilize its full statutory power to foster housing projects in white areas of the greater Chicago metropolitan area. I join the Court’s opinion except insofar as it appears to reaffirm the decision in Milliken.
