May I say to the gentleman that I appreciate very much the words he has said about my interest in the problems of housing. Like the gentleman, who I know is very much interested in providing housing for those who can find no affordable housing on the market today because none is being built, no such housing is being built. It was represented to me by some of the tenants, and in good faith, I am sure, that no hearings had been held on this.
