Dear Mr. Chairman:
Reference is made to your letter dated December 17, 1969, in
which you requested that we furnish you with a chronology of actions
taken by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) re-
garding its review and disposition of certain statements made by var-
ious citizen organizations prior to HUD's approval of the Triangle
Urban Renewal Project in Charleston, West Virginia. Your request
stated that the chronology may be limited to the information available
in HUD project fi]es maintained at the HUD central office and the HUD
regional office in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and that it was not neces-
sary for us to comment on the appropriateness of HUD actions.
Because of the vast quantity of material available on this matter
in HUD files, we have extracted what we believe to be the more perti-
nent information. The enclosure to this letter includes a synopsis of
the numerous memorandums, letters, and documents generated as a
result of Inquiries and replies between various interested parties and
the HUD central office and the HUD regional office concerning the Tri-
angle project. The synopsis is in chronological sequence and presents
the inquiry with HUD's reply following immediately below.
In addition, there are three appendixes to the enclosure: appen-
dix I is a schedule showing the number of buildings to be cleared and
the number of families and individuals to be displaced; appendix II is a
copy of the instructions entitled Matters of Advice sent by the HUD
regional office, which required certain action by the Charleston Urban
Renewal Authority before HUD would execute the contract for a tempo-
rary loan and a Federal capital grant; and appendix III is a copy of the
Formal Administrative Complaint submitted to the Secretary of HUD
by a delegation of citizens from Charleston.
We have retained copies of all documents from -which the synop-
sis was prepared. Consequently, we are prepared to provide any addi-
tional information contained therein that you may desire.
In accordance with the agreement reached with your Committee
Counsel, a copy of this report is being furnished to the Secretary of
