Today is a very tense day in the world. I know our thoughts are with our troops and the people with responsibility for leading them.

Last year by HUD's own miscalculations there was a $250 million dollar shortfall in the Public Housing Operating Fund...

I do not want to give up on the HOPE VI framework.

I am very concerned about the issues related to the elderly housing and we would welcome your ideas on what we are doing and can do about housing for the elderly as well as in public housing.

I am really frustrated, and what I feel is that Senator Bond and I have been the Board.

If you don't pick them up, they're cosmologists, astrophysicists, so many separate fields of physics that I couldn't even describe.

I am very troubled by the President's budget request. I think it is status quo, and I think we needed another $500 million more.

How do we get it in the appropriations bill and if we don't, then we cannot have that whole issue of NASA going to other important programs to get the money

You know, that is a really big job, and first of all I think it is very laudatory.

What appears is that a lot of the predatory lending, the gouging of the poor, has occurred at the so-called subprimes.

I feel very strongly.

I do find it commendable what you have been doing.

I am very, very, very disappointed in the Corporation's Board.

I think when we go, we have to be sure in the most meticulous, arduous way that we are ready to go

The CDFI Fund has a very important mission. It invests in organizations that are dedicated to improving low-income neighborhoods, and the lives of low-income people.

What do you think about it?

It just seems with flipping when we close 3 loopholes and the scammers and the scummers find 5 more.

I think there has been a lack of leadership on the Board.
