This bill directs S20 billion to child care spending over the next 6 yearsan increase of $3.5 billion in child spending over 6 years. These child care funds will allow women to enter the work force and help States to meet their work force participation requirements. I remain concerned about the food stamp cuts contained in this legislation. Last month. I voted against the Kasich amendment that added these cuts. I also worry about the restrictive prohibitions on benefits for legal immigrants. As this legislation is enacted. I will carefully monitor the effects of these provisions with the intent of remedying them legislatively if necessary.
