So the amendment was agreed to.

T48.16 RECORDED VOTE

A recorded vote by electronic device

was ordered in the Committee of the

Whole on the following amendments en

bloc submitted by Mr. ARCHER:

Amendment No. 2, offered by Mr. TALENT:

Page 6, after line 3, insert the following:

SEC. 100. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS.

It is the sense of the Congress that—

(1) marriage is the foundation of a successful society;

(2) marriage is an essential social institution which promotes the interests of children

and society at large;

(3) the negative consequences of an out-ofwedlock birth on the child, the mother, and

society are well documented as follows:

(A) the illegitimacy rate among black

Americans was 26 percent in 1965, but today

the rate is 68 percent and climbing;

(B) the illegitimacy rate among white

Americans has risen tenfold, from 2.29 percent in 1960 to 22 percent today;

(C) the total of all out-of-wedlock births

between 1970 and 1991 has risen from 10 percent to 30 percent and if the current trend

continues 50 percent of all births by the year

2015 will be out-of-wedlock;

(D) 3⁄4 of illegitimate births among whites

are to women with a high school education

or less;

(E) the 1-parent family is 6 times more

likely to be poor than the 2-parent family;

(F) children born into families receiving

welfare assistance are 3 times more likely

than children not born into families receiving welfare to be on welfare when they reach

adulthood;

(G) teenage single parent mothering is the

single biggest contributor to low birth

weight babies;

(D) children born out-of-wedlock are more

likely to experience low verbal cognitive attainment, child abuse, and neglect;

(I) young people from single parent or stepparent families are 2 to 3 times more likely

to have emotional or behavioral problems

than those from intact families;

(J) young white women who were raised in

a single parent family are more than twice

as likely to have children out-of-wedlock and

to become parents as teenagers, and almost

twice as likely to have their marriages end

in divorce, as are children from 2-parent

families;

(K) the younger the single parent mother,

the less likely she is to finish high school;

(L) young women who have children before

finishing high school are more likely to receive welfare assistance for a longer period

of time;

(M) between 1985 and 1990, the public cost

of births to teenage mothers under the aid to

families with dependent children program,

the food stamp program, and the medicaid

program has been estimated at

$120,000,000,000;

(N) the absence of a father in the life of a

child has a negative effect on school performance and peer adjustment;

(O) the likelihood that a young black man

will engage in criminal activities doubles if

he is raised without a father and triples if he

lives in a neighborhood with a high concentration of single parent families; and

(P) the greater the incidence of single parent families in a neighborhood, the higher

the incidence of violent crime and burglary;

and

(4) in light of this demonstration of the crisis in our Nation, the reduction of out-ofwedlock births is an important government

interest and the policy contained in provisions of this title address the crisis.

Amend the table of contents accordingly.

(1) too many children who wish to be

adopted are spending inordinate amounts of

time in foster care;

(2) there is an urgent need for States to increase the number of waiting children being

adopted in a timely and lawful manner;

(3) States should allocate sufficient funds

under this title for adoption assistance and

medical assistance to encourage more families to adopt children who otherwise would

languish in the foster care system for a period that many experts consider detrimental

to their development;

(4) when it is necessary for a State to remove a child from the home of the child’s biological parents, the State should strive—

(A) to provide the child with a single foster

care placement and a single coordinated case

team; and

(B) to conclude an adoption of the child,

when adoption is the goal of the child and

the State, within one year of the child’s

placement in foster care; and
