Mr. Chairman, last year we passed a welfare-to-work bill, knowing that that bill was not the sound bill it should be for those who are moving from welfare to work. This amendment that my friend has put on the floor is one that will help us to move this generation of welfare recipients to work. One in 20 welfare recipients in this country own a car. That is a frightening statistic. When one considers that when we passed welfare reform we placed strict time limits on the welfare recipients, we can ill-afford to not pass this amendment. I urge all Members to pass the Davis amendment.
