In disposing of the case at hand we refer to the analysis in Thompson v. Washington, No. 71-2049, 162 U.S.App.D.C.-, 497 F.2d 626 decided this day That opinion suffices to establish jurisdiction and standing. In Thompson we held that tenants of lower income public housing programs established under the United States Housing Act, 42 U.S.C. § 1401 et seq., have a right to contest rent increase proposals through written statements. In Marshall v. Lynn, No. 71-1786, also decided this day, we found a similar right to participate held by tenants of housing financed with FHA aid mortgage insurance at below market interest rates, pursuant to Section 221(d)(3) of the National Housing Act, 12 U.S.C. 17151 (1970). We based this procedural protection on our finding that tenants were intended beneficiaries of the rent limitation provisions of those housing programs.
