Likewise, in this instance, Congress was aware that the administrative agency charged with implementing the eviction provision construed it to permit eviction of ignorant tenants. This interpretation had been challenged on both policy and constitutional grounds before Congress and in HUD’s notice and comment procedures. Congress itself has shown its concern for ignorant tenants by protecting them with specific language in other legislative enactments. See supra.9 Congress, however, did not provide an exemption for ignorant tenants when it amended § 1437d(Z )(6) in 1996. This court does not have the power to amend the statute. Congress clearly intended HUD’s interpretation of the eviction statute to prevail.
