So what you basically take is, let us say, 65 percent of the people who come into the program, and then by the year 2000, half of the 65 percent must be in some sort of work program.

What we say is that 50 percent of the entire caseload, and it would be up to the States' discretion, and I am sure they, in all likelihood, because of the expense of someone who has an incapacity of some sort, would not require them to work." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
