Orrin Hatch: “If I go to page 40, amending section requirements and limitations and put this in between lines 16 and 17, the Senator…”

On the recordSeptember 12, 1995
If I go to page 40, amending section requirements and limitations and put this in between lines 16 and 17, the Senator provides for an entitlement. It seems to me the Senator provides for a means whereby people can bring litigation if they do not get their way. That just is not the way we can run the business here. We have to presume that when we provide these funds, the States are going to utilize them properly and they are going to provide job training or work-related programs that work. What you do is make it another entitlement, which is what is eating our country alive.
