Mr. Speaker, just in closing, let me salute our good friend from California, who has had a passionate interest in housing ever since she got here and has worked extremely well as the ranking member of the subcommittee with the chairman and with both the full committee chairmen, myself and the gentleman from Ohio. We have surprised a lot of people with what we have been able to produce. They say politics is the art of the possible, and I think we have proven it time and time again. This is commonsense legislation that is good for all concerned, and I just want to salute her dedication to that effort.
