I also find it uneasy that with Congress in the business of reauthorizing TANF this year, that there is no comment with regard to housing issues.

Maybe we should follow up with your staff and see how this works.

I would certainly encourage you to come to Cumberland County with me and you would see where those grants have been very effectively used and brought new jobs.

I consider zeroing-out the Public Housing Drug Elimination Program, a program aimed at improving the safety at public housing developments, particularly troublesome.

At some point I would appreciate it if your staff could show me whether the funds that were allocated are still going to fund the same activities with regard to drug elimination activities and security and public housing authorities.

zeroing out the grants is an extraordinarily troubling issue for those local communities.

The President's housing budget is completely silent on the specific housing needs that face welfare recipients.

I continue to be very troubled by the on-the-ground information that I get feedback on from some of the public housing authorities in New Jersey.

Furthermore, the Administration espouses the need to physically improve public housing; its budget actually cuts $441 million from the Public Housing Capital Fund, the program which funds public housing repairs and rehabilitation.

Thank you. And TANF reauthorization and the family self-sufficiency program?

I think there really is--the point that I was trying to make--some evidence that spending does have meaningful impact on the growth of the economy.

I wonder if the Senator is familiar with the Federal Reserve's view of how they model or look at the economy, and how tax cuts and spending cuts work through the economy. We just had a Joint Economic Committee meeting yesterday in…

But the Government is the backstop for the insurance.

I am troubled by this context because if we think that this program is necessary to deal with a short-run problem by the industry and its inability to price this risk...

I think that is the point, when we talk about how healthy the industry is with regard to surplus.

That does not make sense to me.

I appreciate the thoughtfulness of your presentation, even though I might not totally agree on all aspects.

I too would like to give my congratulations and laud you for how the industry has reacted in the post-September 11 time.
