On the recordSeptember 7, 1995
May I express particular personal thanks to the Senator from California for her generosity in her remarks, and to make the case--just comment--that in the aftermath of the Family Support Act, we had considerable successes in places such as Riverside. And we also had a continued rise in the number of families headed by women. The CBO has done the best analysis you can do with these things, a regression analysis. It states the caseload increase from late 1989 to 1992, increases in the number of families headed by women explain just over half in the rise of the AFDC basic caseload. A quarter was the recession.
