But I think the responsibility here is plain. Every single hearing we hadand our subcommittee was the first to bring to national attention the question of homelessness. Every single hearing we had. and we had the most comprehensivethe gentleman said he was present at every one of them. but he did not go with us to the field. he was not with the subcommittee when we went to see the horrible plight 1 hour and 15 minutes from here of the migrant farmers housing in Maryland. Delaware. and Virginia. in the Eastern Shore. he was not with us when we went to the Bronx. he was not with us when we went to the south or southeast Bronx. he was not with us when we went to north Texas. to the labor camps up in Deaf Smith County. he was not with us when we went to California. So what I am saying is that public housing is an absolute need. that. if anything. the Subcommittee on Appropriations ought to be complimented for a responsible and responsive position which is certainly in keeping with frugality. within the freeze limits. within the budget limits and. as the chairman has well pointed out. it is contingent on action taken by the House on a housing authorization bill.
