“ Cole, what effect do you think your program is going to have on the nation's economy?
Cole
It's my judgment that as goes the housing, so goes the economy of our country. As we provide good housing, as we expand our housing for our people, thus we provide better living conditions for our people, more employment for our people, higher wages for our people, higher savings for our people, and, finally, better living for all of the people of America, and thus obtain for our people finer conditions to continue our democratic way of life.

“ Many sound, well informed, well-intentioned people, who have an interest in the human needs of the people of America believe that the problem is getting good houses for people, good houses, and therefore we envision a plan, a program, legislation, which will do that. It can't be done through one program, through public housing, through slum clearance, through rehabilitation, through expansion of federal housing insurance programs, it must be done through all the tools available to the people. ”

“ I believe Congress will realize that housing is not just one piecemeal segment of either our economy or our desires on the part of our people or the needs of the people. When finally Congress has studied the problem, as was studied by the advisory committee, they will realize that the attack on this problem, the approach to the problem, is an over-all approach. ”
