President Clinton was forced to veto a welfare bill which. much like the bill before us today. would place an alarming number of children into poverty. According to the Urban Institute. H.R. 3734 would push 1.5 million children into poverty. I appeal to President Clinton to veto this measure which abandons the Federal commitment and safety net that protects Americas children. H.R. 3734 slashes more than S61 billion over 6 years in welfare programs. This bill guts funding for the Food Stamp Program. cuts into the SSI protections for disabled children. drastically cuts child nutrition programs. and slashes benefits for legal immigrants. Mr. Speaker.
