Let me further the point that was made by the gentleman from Wisconsin [Mr. Sensenbrenner]. If, in fact, the majority party continues along the line like it is doing with the welfare reform bill, and, that is, moderating it to some degree--the one we are going to take up provides for more child care--we will get a signature, we will go to the block grants, you and I will support it, then naturally this will not be necessary. But as long as you insist on always sticking in a poison pill to the bill, you are going to keep getting a veto. The poison pill that you are going to stick in this time around is some radical Medicaid changes which you know the President is not going to buy.
