mr. done high and -- donahue and mr. beaudette, do they generally accept your suggestions and implement your suggestions? >> i think my colleague testified in june that the department's home program has been very receptive to our audits. >> yes, he did. but i want to know if you agree with it. >> i think so, yes, sir. >> mr. donahue, would you agree with that? >> not only do i believe all the secretaries are quite sensitive -- >> so when you made a suggestion, they would try to implement it? mr. beaudette, have you found that to be true as well? >> absolutely. >> so as people find new ways to do it and they go to suggest it, in general -- not just this administration, but past administrations -- they're good people trying to do the right thing, and if somebody comes up with a good idea, they do it. is that a fair estimate of what you just said? i guess the other thing, have there been times when you have suggested, mr. mccarty, you really need to do this on an important issue to enhance your oversight, the hud has said,
