“I cannot differ with the gentleman in terms of some of the deplorable problems that have occurred, but is it not the function of the Inspector General of HUD that has done some of the criticism or the GAO or the oversight work of our committee that can, in fact, hold them accountable? Is this the only means available? If this study goes through the process and indicates that it is preferable, I will join the gentleman in supporting it. But I think the essence is, why do we not look at what the alternatives are? Of course we know that HUD itself has renewed its efforts in these areas.”
