Clinton opens door for states to offer paid leave
President Clinton announced Labor Department regulations allowing states to provide paid leave after birth or adoption through unemployment insurance and a June 20 rule enabling federal employees to use up to 12 weeks of sick leave for a seriously ill family member. He cited 20 million users of the 1993 Family and Medical Leave Act and urged broader access without hurting program solvency. Rep. J C Watts criticized the plan as ill conceived.
