My final thought on the subject, Mr. Chairman, is with respect to the support and the public officials who support less than the university concept for the District of Columbia; it is difficult indeed for us to understand how in the greatest capital of the greatest nation in the world, we could be asked anything less than the other States in the Union for the young people of this city.

I appreciate the opportunity to appear, sir.
