But I will not vote for H.R. 3734. a bill that is sightlessly cutting $50 billion from programL from the poorest in our Nation in a blind march to balance the budget and to give money to the richest in our Nation. Mr. Speaker. there is a bipartisan and bicameral alternative. the CastleTanner proposal. that ought to be considered by the House when we vote on welfare reform. Although the CastleTanner has provisions on immigration that need to be improved. it is a far better reform bill for our current welfare system. Last week. this House refused to spend $30 million. just $30 million. requested by the President to help control and prevent the alarming growth of teen pregnancy. Yet. we spend $6.4 billion annual on programs once teenager are pregnant and have children.
