Well, I guess what I am trying to understand is whether it would make sense, in this reauthorization that is contemplated here in the next couple to 3 months, for Congress and for the Federal Government to essentially say, all right, this is a block grant, but you have to spend a certain percentage of this block grant--each State has to spend a certain percent of it doing a certain set of things.
Senator Bingaman questions the spending requirements for TANF block grants in upcoming reauthorization.

The President, in my view, could not have chosen a better nominee for the position than Mike.
In December 2010 U.S. Senators Tom Udall, Tom Harkin, and Jeff Bingaman requested an independent study from the National Academy of Sciences on whether chimpanzees are necessary as invasive research subjects.
I would certainly like to thank Senator Bingaman, who just retired just very recently, for the strong support that he has shown me over the years, and including support for this nomination.
I'm honored to be here with Senator Udall to strongly support the nomination of Mike Connor for the position of Deputy Secretary of the Department of the Interior.
