In 1965, I Marched For Equality.

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.

And I Always Like To Stress, It's Not A Quota, Not A Set-aside, It's Not About Race, It's About Giving Opportunities To Demonstrate Their Abilities To Do Work With The Federal Government.

Being Poor Is A State Of Mind, Not A Condition.

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.

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