Mr. James Dwight. has committed his agency to an amendment to the regulations which would. for family planning services. make the presumption of a child and would make all sexually active women eligible for services regardless of their parental or marital status. and also without regard to the 6month requirement in the regulations. I am disappointed. however. that SRS has steadfastly refused to acknowledge or resolve the group eligibility and certification problem as it relates to mobile migrant children. As of today. SRS is ignoring the plight of mobile migrant and Indian children. who would be virtually excluded from any services under the proposed regulations. Frankly. Mr. President. it is beyond my comprehension that SRS cannot find a way to eliminate group eligibility abuses without hurting these most needy children. I could not think of a better example of throwing the baby out with the bathwater. I trust. however. that SRS will continue to study this situation. and come up with a constructive solution to restore group eligibility for Indian and mobile migrant children. particularly for day care and health services. Mr. President.
