On the recordJune 8, 1994
today I will be introducing, with a group of bipartisan Congresswomen, the Child Support Responsibility Act. We are very, very tired of the incrementalism in this area. We are very, very tired of seeing $34 billion a year being ducked in child support enforcement. We are also really tired of seeing parents using State lines for economic hide-and-seek from their family obligations, and say enough. We have taken the provisions from the U.S. Commission on Interstate Child Support Enforcement, and we have beefed them up. We have made them as tough as we can. We want this to be done now. Let us hope every Member gets on this bill. Let us pass this bill. This is the best thing we can do to prevent welfare in America. We cannot hold children emotionally harmless from the ravages of divorce, but if we pass this bill, we can hold them economically harmless, and that is the least we can do.
