As we are working to enact this legislation. I am pleased that we incorporated provisions to ease the potential burdens for many smaller public housing authorities. including many in my Congressional district. I am also pleased to see that the Managers Amendment we are considering includes language that reaffirms current Federal law and ensures that illegal immigrants do not receive public housing benefits that should only go to those who rightfully deserve them. Mr. Chairman. in closing. I would like to express my appreciation to Mr. SIRES of New Jersey for introducing this legislation and to Chairman FRANK for working to include language in the Managers Amendment pertaining to illegal immigration. I urge my colleagues to vote in favor of H.R. 3521. the Public Housing Asset Management Improvement Act.
