On the recordJuly 8, 1997
I want to say that the committee and particularly the gentleman from Minnesota made significant improvements on the bill, I thought, that left a safety net so that no one would be stripped of any legal opportunities and benefits that would be available to them. I really appreciate the improvements that came on the bill as a result of the committee's action. I might also mention that I have a letter from the Department of HUD as well as from OMB that has done an interagency review of the bill and they have indicated that the administration has no objections to the bill as it is now submitted. I again want to thank the gentleman for making improvements on the original bill.
