Speech #970220907

I believe on August 13. there was signed into law legislation which contained some very extensive amendments to the statute requiring substantive reforms of the section 8 program. I call those reforms to the attention of the Senator from Utah and ask if he is aware of the status of implementation of those reforms by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. I am referring to those provisions which were included in last years bill. such things as increasing tenants contribution. limiting the Secretarys discretionary fund. eliminating preference for tandem financing. providing payments for unoccupied units. getting out the illegal aliens who are presently in many units. We have had testimony of a huge number of illegal aliens in section 8 subsidized housing units. And on and on. all of those reforms. Is the Senator aware of whether or not those have been implemented?
