Mr. President. I will vote for the welfare reform conference report. I do so with grave reservations about many specific provisions. Like President Clinton. I think the cuts in nutrition programs are too deep and they can and should be corrected. Like President Clinton. I am concerned about the treatment of legal immigrantspeople who followed the rules and came here under our legal immigration laws. Many have contributed in numerous ways to their communities. They are taxpayers and workers who. like all of us. may become ill or unemployed. This bill slams the door on them to a variety of programs in a manner that is neither appropriate nor necessary.
