What the document says

“The President should issue an executive order making the HUD Secretary a member of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S.”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 508

The chapter frames this as gaining broader oversight to address foreign threats, particularly from China, over foreign ownership of real estate in both rental and ownership markets for single-family and multifamily housing, noting the value of real estate secured across the department's portfolio.

What the document actually says

“The President should issue an executive order making the HUD Secretary a member of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S.”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 508
That sentence, in plain words

Sign an order putting the housing chief on this committee. It reviews foreign buyers.

What this is about

A committee checks when foreign buyers want American assets. The book says the housing chief should join it. The worry is who owns American homes.

How to read this page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the book itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
