Our survey was made pursuant to the Budget and Accounting Act 1921 (31 U.S.C. 53), and the Accounting and Auditing Act of 1950 (31 U.S.C. 67). ihe Demonstration Cities and Metropolitan Development Act of 1966, as amended (42 U.S.C. 3372) directed the Secretary of HUD to: '') 'conduct research and studies to test and demonstrate new and improved techniques and methods of applying advances in technology to housing construction, rehabilitation, and asintenarce, and to urban develop ment activities; (2) 'encourage and promote the acceptance and application of new and improved techniques and methods of constructing rehabilitating, and maintaining housing, and the appltea- tion of advances in technology to urban developeant activities, by all segments of the housIng industry, communities, industries engaged in urban development activities, and the general public; and (3) require, to the greatest extent feasible, the employment of new and improved technology, techniques, materials, and methods in housing construction, rehabilitation, and maintenance under programs administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development with a view to reducing the cost of such con- struction, rehabilitation, and maintenance, and Stimulating the increased and eustaineJ production of housing under such programs. Currently. HUD's major research effort--O0peration Breakthrough,- is aimed at the establishment of self-sustaining mechanisms for producing new, marketable housing in increased volumes at controlled or reduced costs.
