in conclusion, let me thank again the gentleman from New York (Mr. LaFalce), the distinguished ranking member, and the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Frank), as well as the gentleman from New York (Mr. Lazio) and the gentlewoman from New Jersey (Mrs. Roukema), two extraordinary subcommittee chairmen, on this bill. This is a bill that has returned to the House with a very important provision unfortunately deleted because it could not receive consensus in the other body. But I am very hopeful that this bill in its current form can be accepted by the other body and that we will have a change in law that will be for the good of the country and particularly for the good of those Americans that are on the cusp of being able to afford a family home. I urge acceptance of this bill.
