First of all, the salutary purposes of the statute would be totally defeated by acceptance of appellant’s view. One of the motivations for providing a summary pos-sessory action was “to avoid resort to self-help and force, condoned at common law.” Tutt v. Doby, 148 U.S.App.D.C. 171, 174, 459 F.2d 1195, 1198 (1972).13 Yet, as this and earlier cases have demonstrated, resort to self-help will be avoided or obviated only if the statutory remedy is deemed to be exclusive. Since it cannot be presumed that the Congress would do a futile thing, it must have intended to abrogate fully the common law.14
