As our committee report explains, it is intended that ``States exercise this provision in an attempt to maximize the effective administration and delivery of Federally subsidized childcare, and not for purposes that have a minor effect on childcare.''

Certainly, it is not our intent to allow States to change, undermine or threaten in any way current laws.
