We have scrubbed this bill for savings in overhead and administration, and I want to thank the gentleman for always bringing up these important issues. We have funded vouchers at a level that meets HUD's commitment to those currently receiving assistance, many of whom are elderly and disabled. I know obviously that is not what the gentleman is going after, or both. But again, we scrubbed this bill, and we think that the funding is where it needs to be at this stage. I would respectfully urge a ``no'' vote on this amendment. Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
