My amendment adds a provision which requires that unless an ablebodied person is in a private sector job. school or job training. the State must offer. and the recipient must accept community service employment within 2 months of receipt of benefits. I would prefer a bill which did not end the Federal safety net for children. a bill like the Daschle work first legislation which failed in the Senate narrowly and which I cosponsored. I would prefer a bill which permitted noncash voucher assistance targetted to the children of families where the adult parent is no longer eligible for assistance. I would prefer a bill which protects legal immigrants who have become disabled. So the decision Is a difficult and a close one. On balance. however.
