A senior member of the Budget Committee, Grassley last month wrote to Sen. Pete Domenici, committee chairman, urging increased funding for Title XX of the Social Security Act, the Social Services Block Grant. President Clinton proposes the same amount for next year. Grassley helped secure the increases during committee negotiations prior to committee action last week. The full Senate today began debate on the budget resolution containing the additional funding. Final passage is expected on Thursday.
