Mike Johanns: “Let me just thank all of you for being here today.”

Could you do that and make it crystal clear to the public that you confirm that the role of conservator... is to be the bridge builder?

Our job is to try to figure out how we deal with that puzzle, that very difficult issue of how to provide services to people who need it.

I will continue to push this legislation, but many of its provisions are things that HUD has the flexibility to implement on its own.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
