The committee report should be read in a manner consistent with the language of the remainder of the statute and the purposes of the Act. Robinson v. Shell Oil Co., 519 U.S. 337, 341, 117 S.Ct. 843, 136 L.Ed.2d 808 (1997) (“the specific context in which that language is used and the broader context of the statute as a whole” relevant to determining meaning of statutory language). It is a declared purpose of the United States Housing Act “to vest in local public housing agencies the maximum amount of responsibility in the administration of their housing programs.” 42 U.S.C. § 1437 (Declaration of Policy).7 Evidence exists that § 1437d(Z )(6) was intended to further this purpose. During floor debate on the measure, one member of the House of Representatives commended the eviction provision as an “additional tool to enhance HUD’s and the Nation’s public housing managers’ ability to deal with the problem of drugs in public housing.” 134 .Cong. Rec. 33,148 (1988) (statement of Rep. Wylie).
