On the recordApril 22, 1997
First of all, Mayor, and to all of you who've spoken, I thank you for what you said and for how you said it and for what you've done. And the pain with which you spoke, I think, only showed the rest of us that you're speaking for all the people in these communities. And I thank you for that. I wonder if, Mr. Witt, if you could comment, or any of the people that we brought with us can comment on the question of the immediate needs--the immediate need for housing, even for basic toilet facilities, for these things--these basic immediate needs. How are we going to deal with that? [The discussion continued.]
