I compliment my colleague, one, for her interest in her State, her constituents, and also for the fact that she has I think four or five amendments... But also I might mention under the Daschle bill, there was a time limit for welfare payments from the Federal Government, 5 years. Under the amendment of the Senator from Illinois, it says after the 5 years should expire and a welfare recipient still has a dependent child, the State would be mandated to provide a voucher program to provide assistance to the minor child. Is that correct?
