Sir:

     Your Committee on Human Services & Housing, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 103 entitled:

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE AUDITOR TO CONDUCT A FINANCIAL AND MANAGEMENT AUDIT OF THE MAYOR WRIGHT HOMES TENANTs' ASSOCIATION,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to request the Auditor to conduct a financial and management audit of the Mayor Wright Homes Tenants' Association.

     Many concerned individuals testified in support of this concurrent resolution.  The Mayor Wright Tenant Association Executive Board opposed this measure.

     Your Committee has amended this concurrent resolution by:

     (2)  Including information on allegations of leniency toward relatives of the Mayor Wright Homes Tenant Association members who violate rules or otherwise disrupt the peace;

     (3)  Including information on allegations of discrimination against Micronesians; and

     (4)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Human Services & Housing that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 103, as amended herein, and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Legislative Management in the form attached hereto as H.C.R. No. 103, H.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Human Services & Housing,
