It is essential for the Congress to address shortcomings in the legislation.

The legislation makes damaging structural changes and deep budget cuts that would fall hardest on children and undermine States' ability to move people from welfare to work.

I strongly support time limits, work requirements, the toughest possible child support enforcement, and requiring minor mothers to live at home as a condition of assistance.

I want to emphasize that we made progress today.

I am returning herewith without my approval H.R. 4, the 'Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act of 1995.'

Larry's civilian life showed the same courage and resolve.
