I would simply like to close by thanking Mrs. Capito for all of the work that she put into this legislation and the cooperation that she gave to me and her staff to my staff. This is a good bill. The differences have been worked out between both sides of the aisle. We worked hard to make sure that we maintained FHA, but that we keep a close watch on it; that, in fact, we give it flexibility, but at the same time ensure the continuity and the consistency of FHA that should be there to provide the guarantees for our citizens that so desperately need them.
