631 charsand provided that if such a determination was made, the Council was authorized “[T]o adopt such rules as it determines necessary and appropriate to regulate and stabilize rents in the District of Columbia . . . .” D.C.Code 1975 Supp. § 45-1622(a). This language strongly suggests that Congress intended to delegate to the Council its full authority to control rents. A more restricted interpretation of the statute so as to exclude the authority to promulgate eviction controls would in our judgment be warranted only if the inclusion of such authority could be regarded as contrary to the obvious purpose of the statute or absurd.
