A lawyer for the city said last night that the city would oppose any expanded inquiry.

The city opposed it and it was never built.

He said the city would strongly oppose requests for any further relief in the case.

Michael Cardozo, the city's corporation counsel, said the city would oppose such a policy but was flexible on other issues.

The city did not oppose the move, but it is subject to a public hearing and final approval.

But many cities opposed the legislation and it died in Congress.

Since the city strongly opposed these plans, they were again rejected and the 185 hotel rooms remained unused.

The city had opposed allowing cameras at the hearing.

"An entire city, a nation itself, opposed by one man who came close to making fools of you all," she added.

The agency can designate the house as a landmark even if the city and state advisory boards oppose the idea.
