On the recordApril 6, 2000
I also want to extend my personal thanks to the gentleman from New York (Mr. LaFalce) and the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Frank), who have shown real sensitivity in trying to increase the amount of people in America who will own homes and, under title VII, the manufactured housing title of this bill, we look at ways to update a 25-year-old code that is not serving consumers, it is not serving regulators, it is not serving homeownership, and we are updating that, and I want to thank the gentleman from New York (Mr. LaFalce) for that. We have heard we are a Nation of achievers and we are certainly a Nation of dreamers, and nothing symbolizes the achievement of the American Dream more than homeownership.
