         Textually, this “endless lease” provision is irrelevant.
It was repealed for ordinary vouchers in 1996. The enhanced
voucher was created in 1999, and the right to remain in 2000.
The “endless lease” provision came and went before enhanced
vouchers ever existed. Its repeal does not directly affect the
enhanced voucher statute. Nor can it offer many clues as to the
intent of the 2000 Congress. If “the views of a subsequent
Congress form a hazardous basis for inferring the intent of an
earlier one,” Consumer Prod. Safety Comm’n v. GTE Sylvania,
Inc., 447 U.S. 102, 117 (1980) (quoting United States v. Price,
361 U.S. 304, 313 (1960)), then the views of an earlier
Congress have less value still for discerning the intent behind
a superseding statute.
