On the recordMay 6, 1997
the responsibility of this committee to work realistically with the budget constraints that exist. This committee is an authorizing committee, is requesting credibility. It is coming with numbers that we will be defending, numbers that will be accepted, numbers that are supported by the administration, numbers that have realistic relationships with other Federal programs in a budget constraint time, and this committee also is coming with philosophical reform. The combination of realistic numbers and realistic reform I think gives decent hope that public housing in America can be improved.
