In 1965, I Marched For Equality.

But I Do Know This: That The Two And A Half Years That I've Been At Hud, I Am Absolutely Convinced That Some Of The Best Workers In The World Are In Federal Government.

I Was Soon Drawn To The Republican Party Because I Realized That It Truly, Not Just Rhetorically, Believed In Equality.

So, I Have The Responsibility Of Making Sure That Hud Functions And Runs Well.

And I'm The Kind Of Manager That Doesn't Believe That You Micro-manage Professionals. They Should Understand Their Responsibility And Carry Out Those Responsibility.

The Largest Challenge That We Face, From My Perspective, Is The Ability To Continue Moving Forward So The Agency Will Have A Single Mission: That Is, To Provide Decent, Safe, And Affordable Housing.
