Reading Room Document
Transfer of Appropriated Funds From the Department of Housing and Urban Development to the National Commission on Neighborhoods
The document is a memorandum opinion regarding a proposed interagency agreement between the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the National Commission on Neighborhoods. The Commission was established by the Supplemental Housing Authorization Act of 1977, with an appropriation of funds not to exceed $1,000,000. The opinion concludes that no agreement can be executed at this time due to the absence of legally appointed members of the Commission. The document also raises questions about the need for an agreement once the Commission is a functioning body and highlights the limitations on the powers and duties of the Commission until all members are appointed.
