In these 512 pages we find discretionary language eight times. First of all. we have heard considerable debate on the subject of what is called a qualified tenant. The great distinguished Member from the State of Ohio. the ranking majority member of the Subcommittee on Immigration. asked the question. and the only place that I could find the answer in the bill. concerning a qualified tenant. is where it says it might mean any individual or tenant who qualifies "pursuant to criteria and procedures established by the Administrator." On page 4 you find such statements in section 101-"as determined by the Administrator pursuant to procedures and regulations established by him." Further on you see the statement: The Administrator shall establish criteria and procedures for determining the eligibility of occupants and rental charges. including criteria and procedures with respect to periodic review of tenant incomes and periodic adjustment of rental charges. I believe in the 4 hours that have been consumed in this debate thus far. 31/2 hours have been spent on the one subject of section 101. We heard testimony which I was quite surprised to hear. that the committee report is in many ways equal to the bill itself.
