I hope the administration works with the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Saxton), who is chairman of the Subcommittee on Military Construction in the Committee on Armed Services to come up with some new ways to buy military housing for military families, because, as the gentleman knows, a lot of that housing is 20, 30, 40, 50 years old; and in a lot of places around the country our young families do not have housing available on the bases. There is not housing. They have to go out on the economy, and in places like San Diego you are looking at $1,000, $1,200 a month for the smallest amounts. So we have some major problems to fix, and that means money.
