On the recordJanuary 27, 1995
I just want them to understand the importance of this particular amendment. To me, it would seem that it is a legislative oxymoron on the one hand to say that we are going to engage in the debate on welfare reform and, on the other hand, change the system that I think is working very well. As I indicated earlier, we are collecting payments, keeping people off the welfare by running a good system. In closing, Mr. Chairman, I would like to reiterate that I am a staunch supporter of the support enforcement system. We must collect every last dollar possible from delinquent parents. Doing so keeps families together. It gives the remaining parent a real chance to raise children, to go to school, to find a decent job. Support enforcement is one Federal program that works. It works and it works well. For every dollar spent on enforcement, the Government collects $4 in support payments.
