ITY OF THE NON-CUSTODIAL PARENT TO PAY
CHILD SUPPORT.

which the parents of a non-adult, non-custodial parent who
refuses to or is unable to pay child support must—
(1) pay or contribute to the child support owed
by the non-custodial parent; or

meet all conditions imposed on the non-custodial par-
ent, such as participation in a work program or other

SEC. 1306. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON LEGISLATIVE AC-
COUNTABILITY FOR UNFUNDED MANDATES
IN WELFARE REFORM LEGISLATION.
(a) FINDINGS.—The Senate finds that the purposes of
the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 are—
(1) to strengthen the partnership between the
Federal Government and State, local and tribal gov-
ernments;
(2) to end the imposition, in the absence of full
consideration by Congress, of Federal mandates on
State, local and tribal governments without adequate
Federal funding, in a manner that may displace
other essential State, local and tribal governmental
priorities;
(3) to assist Congress in its consideration of pro-
posed legislation establishing or revising Federal pro-
grams containing Federal mandates affecting State,
local and tribal governments, and the private sector
by—
(A) providing for the development of infor-
mation about the nature and size of mandates in
proposed legislation; and
652
HR 4 EAS
(B) establishing a mechanism to bring such
information to the attention of the Senate and
the House of Representatives before the Senate
and the House of Representatives vote on pro-
posed legislation;
(4) to promote informed and deliberate decisions
by Congress on the appropriateness of Federal man-
dates in any particular instance; and
(5) to require that Congress consider whether to
provide funding to assist State, local and tribal gov-
ernments in complying with Federal mandates.
(b) SENSE OF THE SENATE.—It is the sense of the Sen-
ate that prior to the Senate acting on the conference report
on either H.R. 4 or any other legislation including welfare
reform provisions, the Congressional Budget Office shall
prepare an analysis of the conference report to include—
(1) estimates, over each of the next 7 fiscal years,
by State and in total, of—
(A) the costs to States of meeting all work
requirements in the conference report, including
those for single-parent families, two-parent fami-
lies, and those who have received cash assistance
for 2 years;
(B) the resources available to the States to
meet these work requirements, defined as Federal
653
HR 4 EAS
appropriations authorized in the conference re-
port for this purpose in addition to what States
are projected to spend under current welfare law;
(C) the amount of any additional revenue
needed by the States to meet the work require-
ments in the conference report, beyond resources
available 
as 
defined 
under 
subparagraph
(b)(1)(B);
(2) an estimate, based on the analysis in para-
graph (b)(1), of how many States would opt to pay
any penalty provided for by the conference report
rather than raise the additional revenue needed to
meet the work requirements in the conference report;
and
(3) estimates, over each of the next 7 fiscal years,
of the costs to States of any other requirements im-
posed on them by such legislation.
SEC. 1307. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING COMPETI-
TIVE BIDDING FOR INFANT FORMULA.
(a) IN GENERAL.—The Senate finds that—
(1) the Federal Supplemental Nutrition Program
for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) is a proven
success story, providing special nutrition and health
assistance to at-risk pregnant women, infants and
children;
654
HR 4 EAS
(2) WIC has been shown to reduce the incidence
of fetal death, low birthweight, infant mortality and
anemia, to increase the nutritional and health status
of pregnant women, infants and children and to im-
prove the cognitive development of infants and chil-
dren;
(3) research has shown that each dollar spent on
WIC for pregnant women results in savings of $1.92
to $4.21 in medicaid expenditures;
(4) because of funding limitations not all indi-
viduals eligible for WIC assistance are served by the
program;
(5) infant formula is a significant item in the
cost of WIC monthly food packages, amounting to ap-
proximately 26 percent of WIC food costs after sub-
tracting manufacturer’s rebates, but approximately
48 percent of food costs prior to applying rebates;
(6) rebates obtained through competitive bidding
for infant formula have reduced the cost of infant for-
mula 
for 
WIC 
participants 
by 
approximately
$4,100,000,000 through the end of fiscal year 1994,
allowing millions of additional pregnant women, in-
fants and children to be served by WIC with the lim-
ited funds available;
655
HR 4 EAS
(7) the Department of Agriculture has estimated
that in fiscal year 1995 rebates obtained through com-
petitive bidding for infant formula will total over
$1,000,000,000, which will enable WIC to serve ap-
proximately 1,600,000 additional women, infants and
children; and
(8) because of the very substantial cost savings
involved, Congress enacted in 1989 legislation requir-
ing that States administering the WIC program con-
duct competitive bidding for infant formula.
(b) SENSE OF THE SENATE.—It is the sense of the Sen-
ate that any legislation enacted by Congress should not
eliminate or in any way weaken the present competitive
bidding requirements for the purchase of infant formula
with respect to any program supported wholly or in part
by Federal funds.
