The Welfare Reform Technical Corrections Act passed the Committee on Ways and Means unanimously. 33 to zero. All Members. those who voted for the Personal Responslbility and Work Opportunity Act and those who did not. supported this teochnical corrections legislation. There are still substantive issues regarding the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act which very much need bipartisan attention. I would cite as examples disability benefits for elderly legal Immigrants and certain food stamp benefits. Negotiations on these matters are takIng place within the context of budget discussions. This bill was not the Intended vehicle for these outstanding concerns.
