But I did not come here to get a big windfall for Texas when I know that if I went for that beautiful bubble what would happen is we would go back to welfare as we know it. which no one in good conscience can say is right for this country. We must persevere to have welfare reform. All of us must give a little. And the underlying HutchisonDole formula does give Florida growth. We worked very hard to make sure that the 19 States that haveactually. it is 20 States--that have low benefits and high growth do not suffer to such a great extent that they would be in jeopardy. And I do sympathize with Florida. Florida is like Texas. We have illegal immigration that costs our States dearly. There is no question about it. However. the GrahamBumpers amendment is not the answer if we care about welfare reform.
