Mike Johanns: “I have received a letter from one or more farm groups in their state, to be blunt about it, attacking your agency.”

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

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

Just a word or two to both leaders. Thank you so much for your kind words. I also want to say thank you for mentioning my wife Stephanie. This has been a remarkable partnership for a lot of years, and I could not have done what I did…

I just hope we are not over-engineering something here.
