Speaker. I am pleased today to rise In support of H.R. 1048. the Welfare Reform Technical Corrections Act of 1997. Last year Congress passed and the President signed a new welfare law that substantially reformed the Nations welfare policy. including Federal programs providing cash welfare. child care. child support and disability paymonte and welfare for noncitizens. That comprehensive legislation also Included a provision requiring the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Commissioner of Social Security to submit to Congress a detailed proposal for making technical corrections and conforming amendments to this law. The goal was to produce legislation that would facilitate the implementation of the new national welfare reform policy In the simplest. most sensible way.
