Council of the District of Columbia. Committee on Housing and Urban Development, Report on Bill No. 1-40 "Bill to Stabilize Rents in the District of Columbia and to Establish a Rent Stabilization Commission,” at 6 (May 19, 1975) (Committee Report). In this passage, the Committee clearly manifests its intention that property owned by corporations be subject to rent control. The Committee Report is silent, however, as to whether property held in partnership is subject to the rent control. Petitioner urges that we infer — based on the Committee's silence — that property held in partnership is not subject to rent control. We decline to make this inference.
