The definition of a displaced person originated in the proposed Fair Compensation Act. Section 115 defined the term to include persons and businesses that move from real property “as a result of the acquisition or imminence of acquisition of such real property, in whole or in part, by a Federal or State agency.” Select Subcommittee Study 157-158. That this choice of language was deliberate can be seen from other provisions of the Act, which authorized relocation assistance only when the “head of any Federal agency acquires real property for public use.” 20 *54
