O j O wi Welfare reform amendments supported 1 he League of Women Vot ers announced it w ill support Senator Abiaham Rlbicoff* s welfare reform amendments when they are Introduced in the Senate. The announcement was made by League President Lucy W . Henson who stated: "T h e R ibicoff amendments w ill provide the brand of wel fare reform which this country needs. They are a significant improvement over the pro visions of H .R .1 and, if passed, w ill go a long way towards re lieving the welfare crunch now squeezing both welfare reci pients ami state fiscal re - sou rces. "W e supported House pas sage of H.R. 1 with some res ervations but we have ab solutely no reseivations about the seriousness of the welfare c ris is . Legislation is des- pei ately needed in this session of Congress to counteiact state cuts in welfare ro lls and benefits." Among the reasons co n tri buting to League support,M rs. Henson cited that R ibicoff pro- posals would: set an Initial $3,000 yearly income flooi foi a fam ily of four; give moi e fis cal re lie f to (he states; gu a i- antee that no teclpient receive less than he wasgetting in J >in- uary, 1971; and prov kle betlei protections foi the rights of welfare recipients than the House passed b ill. The League president was also c ritic a l of the Jepth of the Adm inistration’ s commitment to welfare reform as a top do mestic p rio rity . "W e don’ t see the Adm inistration push ing too hard in the Senate not do we understand rhetoric that one day speaks of Improving tlie lot of the 7-1/2 m illio n children receiving benefits arid the next day stigmatizes their parents as cheaters and mat Inge i ei s.” M rs. Henson announces that special txilletins weie I« I ng sent to 1300 Leagues through out the country calling fo r an all-out, end-of-sessfon push by League members and oilier gioups active In the welfare reform campaign. Special emphasis Is being placed on working with state governors to enlist their support foi fed eral welfare legislation. If the Rlbicoff improve ments aie tncorpoi ated In the House passed legislation, the nation could tv taking a mon umental step toward elunuiat- ing povei ty fo r more than 25 m illio n Americans, M rs. Hen son stated. " I t ’ s amazing that with tlie welfare system so patently ineffective, this coun try has waited so longtoenact legislation (hat w ill take us out of tlie cui lent mess. Senatoi Rlblcoff’ s amendments seem to us to be just that kind of leg isla tio n ."
