As will be seen in the analysis which follows, the critical inquiry must consider the first clause of the “displaced person” definition, namely, whether the initial “acquisition” of Sky Tower was for “a program or project undertaken by a Federal agency,” as well as the second (“notice”) clause of the definition, for both clauses contemplate a voluntary acquisition, and both an actual acquisition and a notice of a proposed acquisition must be “for a program or project” and anticipated resulting displacement. As will be seen below, the acquisition here, by default and foreclosure of an insured mortgage, should be considered involuntary. Further, as Caramico properly establishes, acquisitions by such involuntary and random means are not for a federal “program or project” within the meaning of the Uniform Relocation Act.
