Health and Human Services Secretary Donna Shalala urged Republican governors to stand firm on a bipartisan welfare plan acceptable to President Clinton. She blamed NGA leaders for letting the bipartisan welfare and Medicaid proposal crumble, while urging continued Medicaid support after welfare time limits, job training funds, and child protection vouchers.

The issue looms ahead of the NGA summer meeting in Puerto Rico.
