We support the compromise language on the Brooke amendment. We do not support the position taken by Congressman Kennedy and Congressman Frank. Both Congressman know this.

Key to our support is the local control, flexibility and trust you place in locally elected or appointed officials to lead LHA's and to do the right thing. Your concept is correct. They are accountable to their communities.
