So there is virtually no difference in the two bills when you look at the practical application of what the States can do. But we set forth the national policy. and the national policy Is that we are for now. and once and for all. going to timelimit the period of time someone can be on welfare. That is going to be the national policy. We are going to also allow the States to craft their own bills. We are not going to continue to make welfare available to noncitizens. That is a very big difference of opinion that we have here in this hall. and I respect that difference of opinion. But soon we are going to be taking a vote.
