The Uniform Relocation Act of 1970 originated in the Senate as S.l. As reported out of the Committee on Government Operations and as passed by the Senate, S.l defined a “displaced person” as essentially any person moved from real property “as a result of the acquisition or reasonable expectation of acquisition of . real property, in whole or in part, by a Federal or State agency.”30 This language was patterned apparently31 upon the definition of the 1968 Highway Act32 which had also referred to a “displaced person” as someone moving “as a result of the acquisition or reasonable expectation of acquisition.” S.l, however, had dropped the reference of the Highway Act to “acquisition of such real property, which is subsequently acquired,”33 thereby broadening the definition to cover persons who move due to a reasonable expectation of acquisition even though the property is not later acquired. An examination of the deleted phrase— “which is subsequently acquired” — shows *174the undeniable broadening effect of the deletion, for the deleted phrase was an important limitation.
