Thank you for the invitation to join you this morning. I am honored to outline the Fiscal Year 2004 Budget proposed by President Bush for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
HUD has achieved measurable success since 2001 in carrying out its mission and meeting the many challenges confronting a Cabinet-level Department.
Housing remains a critical component of both the President's plan to promote economic growth and his focus on meeting the common challenges faced by Americans and their communities.
I'm particularly honored today to have the opportunity to participate in the confirmation of Dr. Rice, someone I came to know as a colleague and friend in our work together in the administration.
