...keep guns on its premises. Since 1988, when Vincent Lane was named C.H.A. chairman, Operation Clean Sweep has sent teams of police and housing-authority guards to conduct surprise searches for weapons, drugs and illegal residents in project buildings. In 1989 Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Jack Kemp praised Clean Sweep as a "model for the rest of the country."

His latest initiative, Homeownership and Opportunity for People Everywhere, would promote home ownership for low- income tenants and support local nonprofit groups. But its total funding is only $750 million next year. The 1987 McKinney Act allotted $596 million this year to states...
