## Sec. 703 national urban policy report **[**[42 U.S.C. 4503](/us/usc/t42/s4503)**]** ###
(a)The President shall transmit to the Congress, not later than June 1, 1993, and not later than the first day of June of every odd-numbered year thereafter, a Report on National Urban Policy which shall contribute to the formulation of such a policy and in addition shall include— ####
(1)information, statistics, and significant trends relating to the pattern of urban development for the preceding two years; ####
(2)a summary of significant problems facing the United States as a result of urban trends and developments affecting the well-being of urban areas; ####
(3)an examination of the housing and related community development problems experienced by cities undergoing a growth rate which equals or exceeds the national average; ####
(4)an evaluation of the progress and the effectiveness of Federal efforts designed to meet such problems and to carry out the national urban policy; ####
(5)an assessment of the policies and structure of existing and proposed interstate planning and developments affecting such policy; ####
(6)a review of State, local, and private policies, plans, and programs relevent to such policy; ####
(7)current and foreseeable needs in the areas served by policies, plans, and programs designed to carry out such policy, and the steps being taken to meet such needs; and #### (8)1 recommendations for programs and policies for carrying out such policy, including such legislation and administrative actions as may be deemed necessary and desirable. 1Section 921(2)(B) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992, Pub. L. 102–550, provides that this paragraph is amended ``by striking “such” and all that follows through the end of the sentence and inserting `legislative or administrative proposals— `(A) to promote coordination among Federal programs to assist urban areas; `(B) to enhance the fiscal capacity of fiscally distressed urban areas; `(C) to promote job opportunities in economically distressed urban areas and to enhance the job skills of residents of such areas; `(D) to generate decent and affordable housing; `(E) to reduce racial tensions and to combat racial and ethnic violence in urban areas; `(F) to combat urban drug abuse and drug-related crime and violence; `(G) to promote the delivery of health care to low-income communities in urban areas; `(H) to expand educational opportunities in urban areas; and `(I) to achieve the goals of the national urban policy.'''. Because the word “such” appears in two places in this paragraph and the amendment does not specify which occurrence of the work to strike, the amendment could not be executed. ###
(b)The President may transmit from time to time to the Congress supplementary reports on urban growth which shall include such supplementary and revised recommendations as may be appropriate. ###
(c)To assist in the preparation of the National Urban Policy Report and any supplementary reports, the President may establish an advisory board, or seek the advice from time to time of temporary advisory boards, the members of whom shall be drawn from among private citizens familiar with the problems of urban areas, and from among Federal officials, Governors of States, mayors, county officials, members of State and local legislative bodies, and others qualified to assist in the preparation of such reports. ###
(d)Referral The National Urban Policy Report shall, when transmitted to Congress, be referred in the Senate to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, and in the House of Representatives to the Committee on Banking, Finance and Urban Affairs.2 2Section 1(a) of Public Law 104–14, 109 Stat. 186, provides, in part, that “any reference in any provision of law enacted before January 4, 1995, to . . . the Committee on Banking, Finance and Urban Affairs of the House of Representatives shall be treated as referring to the Committee on Banking and Financial Services of the House of Representatives”. However, H. Res. 5, 107th Congress, agreed to on January 3, 2001, abolished the Committee on Banking and Financial Services and established the Committee on Financial Services, which has jurisdiction over many of the areas previously under the jurisdiction of the Committee on Banking and Financial Services.
