Excerpt from The Housing Choice and Community Investment Act of 1994: Joint Hearings Before the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, United States Senate, and the Subcommittee on Housing and Urban Affairs, One Hundred Third Congress I want to acknowledge the presence of a number of daughters who are here today with their parents, starting with my own daughter, Ashley, and Sara Murray, who is here with Senator Mur ray, and I see some other young women who are here with either their moms or dads, and we're just delighted that all of you are here with us today. What we' re going to be talking about today 15 the whole question of housing policy and housing opportunities in America because we all know how important it is to have a nice home to live in and hopefully to own your own home. Many people aren't able to do that. They don't have the money or life has worked in such a way that they haven't had the kind of opportunity that maybe the rest of us have had. We spend a lot of time in the Government trying to figure out how we can make it more possible for more people to be able to have the chance to buy and own a home of their own, and to have all of the pleasant things that can come from that in terms of just allowing the kind of family life that isn't quite as possible in other ways if one doesn't have the chance to own a home.
