I would like to make the Members of the House aware of the fact that this very amendment is in the Senate bill, S. 1260, which contains the very language that this amendment contains and I am hopeful if this amendment is not adopted by this House tonight that in conference this amendment will in fact have an opportunity to be adopted so that it can in fact be the law of the land. But I truly believe that the more input we get from people who live in public housing in term of how we shape their living conditions, who knows best than them. I just think this is a step in the right direction. I would like to commend many of those local areas across the country who are now implementing local advisory boards today, like the city of New Orleans from my own State. They have an advisory board that consists of residents. I think that is a step in the right direction.
