KEMP ALLOWS FUNDING OF GROUPS AIDING ALIENS

Housing and Urban Development Secretary Jack Kemp on Monday suspended a ruling by HUD's general counsel that said cities may withhold federal grant money from groups that serve illegal aliens.

Citing a concern for the "clear injustices and absurdities" that could result from the opinion, Kemp called for an "urgent" meeting with immigrant-rights groups and officials of this city who proposed an alien-funding ban last August.
