LETTERS, Page 16Hustling HUD
Your reporting on how Republicans who formerly held high
Government office got substantial consulting fees for helping
developers participate in Housing and Urban Development projects
(NATION, June 26) is one more reason for my cynicism about elected
and appointed officials. After they leave the Government, they
should not be allowed to earn anything from dealings involving it.

I could not believe the cavalier response to the investigation
of HUD. Consultants like James Watt should have to submit itemized
statements justifying the exorbitant fees paid them. When people
complain about welfare cheaters at the bottom, they need to be
reminded that there are plenty of rascals at the top.

You state that the woman dubbed Robin Hud stole $5.5 million
from HUD funds and claims she used it for the poor and will repay
the agency. If she gave it away, where will the money come from?
