Welfare overhaul sparks GOP Senate clash over aid and cuts
The House backed welfare reform to curb aid for the poor while preserving food stamps for eligible recipients. The Senate Finance Committee planned to study a Packwood bill freezing welfare at 16.8 billion annually through 2000 and reallocating funds to states via a 1994 baseline. The proposal limits cash aid, preserves JOBS, and resists broad foster care changes, with votes not expected before Thursday. The Agriculture Committee weighs food stamp block grant options as lawmakers seek a 45 billion cut to balance the budget by 2002.
