On the recordJuly 23, 1996
In my 30 seconds, I want to underscore, first of all, what my senior Senator said, which is that we are very willing to make changes in welfare. We want to reform welfare. We both said that when we ran for the U.S. Senate. We have both supported our Democratic leader's bill, and we even voted for a Senate bill. The fact of the matter is that this, essentially, is paid for by one State. I will tell you, that is unfair. Yes, we are the largest State, and we have a lot of the population, but not to the extent that we are hit. Also, when this country cannot pay for diapers for its children and food and school supplies for its kids, I think we ought to relook at who we are. Thank you.
