Mr. President. Congressman GRISHAM has indicated that recent GAO interviews with various resident managers of public housing projects in southern California have revealed that significant numbers of illegal aliens are enjoying rental assistance from U.S. taxpayers. One manager of a 487unit project estimated that illegal aliens comprised 36 percent of the population of the project. Another manager of a 685unit project estimated that 100 to 125 units were occupied by illegal aliens. I would urge the Senate to consider this measure. to provide for the needs of our citizens within the limits of current budget constraints. In view of the limited amount of Federal housing funds available for assisting eligible citizens.
