On the recordApril 30, 1997
I agree that we should do more to help minority families adopt children. I commend the gentlewoman for the amendment that she was going to put forth and for her willingness to withdraw the amendment. It has been understood today that the bill we have before us will provide a statute, a basis on which we can continue to improve the foster care and permanent adoption situation in these United States, and I look forward to working with the gentlewoman from Texas on her amendment, which then can be part of a future bill that addresses this very important situation. And I thank the gentlewoman for her understanding today.
