Here I immensely regret the Presidents veto of the day care bill. The third major reform that I think is necessary is uniform national standards of welfare. It seems to me unfair for some States to use low welfare payments and limited eligibility benefits as a means of encouraging their poverty populations to emigrate to other States with more humane standards. The citizens of Rhode Island have been most charitable in setting their levels and standards of welfare. We have one of the most progressive and generous programs in the Nation. and I do not think other States with less generous standards should be able to take advantage of us by treating their citizens with less justice and equity.
