On the recordJuly 1, 1999
I'm pleased to join Senators Jeffords and Landrieu as a cosponsor of this amendment that helps address an issue affecting many lower pay-grade federal employees with young children: affordable child care. Often there are facilities available to fill this need, but the costs puts this option beyond the reach of these families. This amendment addresses this concern by allowing the use of appropriated funds to help these families. Though I am concerned that the House may be uncomfortable with the overall scope of this amendment, I look forward to working with Senators Jeffords and Landrieu to make sure this measure or a reasonable compromise is acceptable to both the House and the Senate.
