As can be seen from this excerpt, HUD is contending that even as to tenants who seek to qualify as “displaced persons” under the notice category, it is dispositive whether the acquisition was for a project or program, that is, whether the acquisition was made as a voluntary and conscious choice. This view is textually based, as explained above, on a reading of “acquiring agency” in the notice clause as referring back to the first clause, that is, to an agency which is acquiring property for a voluntary and conscious “program or project.” And the HUD view is further based, as shown by the citation to the House Report, upon the leg; islative intent that the notice clause should ensure coverage of those who move prior to acquisition and even in the event it never occurs.
