But if the father is delinquent, if the father is not available or unable to pay, for whatever reason, unemployed, you name it, then the parents of the absentee father in this case would be liable?

Let me talk out loud or think out loud. So if you have a teenage mother, if you have in this case an unmarried single mother, and if there is a court order placed against the father for child support, if that is not collectible from the…

While my colleague from California is here, I have not had a chance to totally review her second amendment. I am very interested in this amendment. It is a tough amendment. If I understand it correctly, if my colleague from California will…

Let me further try to clarify so I will know and maybe just help us tomorrow when we are considering these amendments. Under the proposal of the Senator from California, it benefits 27 States. You do not change the amount of money. So you…

The Senator's amendment is allocating the money set aside for growth States, and under her proposed distribution it would increase benefits under that portion of the fund to 27 States as compared to 10 States. In other words, under the…

The amendment is directed toward States that have increases in welfare population.

I appreciate her amendment, and I want to thank her for coming to the floor and offering her amendment. I do not know that this--as a matter of fact, I doubt that allocation amendments are the ones that will be readily agreed upon because…

Mr. President, I believe about 90-some percent of the Senate agrees with passing the rescissions package. I was at the White House earlier this week and President Clinton said he hoped the Senate would pass it very quickly. I believe there…

I know Senator Dole wants a couple of votes quickly. That is the reason why I thought maybe we could talk. In listening to the Senator from Delaware I thought I heard the Senator say he has real problems with the words that were inserted…

We cannot continue that rate of growth. Earned income tax credit, a program that this President is very proud of, the last 4 years has grown at 11, 55, 18 percent, 1994 at 22 percent, 1995 at 55 percent. That is an exploding entitlement…

Just looking at the language on page 35 of the bill, that is really where we are amending the section, that section 202, that is the one which defines the call for reports. Basically it says the report shall be issued if you have…

In section 2 of this bill, the language provides a 25- percent deposit cap or concentration limit for banks in any one State. Oklahoma law currently sets an 11 percent deposit cap in the State banking code. Under the House version of this…

If you go in and talk to a business person and if they find out some of the legislation that is running through Congress, they say, ``Wait a minute, what are you guys doing?'' There is legislation--I mentioned to my friend from South…

I have some letters from many of these organizations, but when you think about it, we have legislation that is pending, like the National Rural Water Association, like the Safe Drinking Water Act, which again have very noble and good…

The present law under the Budget Act, Section 403 says that economic impact statement should be compiled or made before legislation that affects State and local Governments. I would readily concur with my colleague that has not necessarily…

The Senator from Wyoming is exactly correct. That is one of the reasons I felt it was important to show that CBO says here is where the deficit reduction figures are coming from, and that there are no spending cuts in the first 3 years of…
