service, and work experience) among welfare re-
cipients, as well as an unprecedented reduction 
in the caseload because recipients have left wel-
fare for work. 
(C) States are making policy choices and 
investment decisions best suited to the needs of 
their citizens. 
(i) To expand aid to working families, 
all States disregard a portion of a family’s 
earned income when determining benefit 
levels. 
(ii) Most States increased the limits 
on countable assets above the former Aid 
to Families with Dependent Children 
(AFDC) program. Every State has in-
creased the vehicle asset level above the 
prior AFDC limit for a family’s primary 
automobile. 
(iii) States are experimenting with 
programs to promote marriage and father 
involvement. Over half the States have 
eliminated restrictions on 2-parent fami-
lies. Many States use TANF, child sup-
port, or State funds to support community-
based activities to help fathers become
more involved in their children’s lives or 
strengthen relationships between mothers 
and fathers. 
(4) Therefore, it is the sense of the Congress 
that increasing success in moving families from wel-
fare to work, as well as in promoting healthy mar-
riage and other means of improving child well-being, 
are very important Government interests and the 
policy contained in part A of title IV of the Social 
Security Act (as amended by this Act) is intended 
to serve these ends.

SECTION 1. FINDINGS; PURPOSE.
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find-
ings:
(1) On March 14, 2002, the President stated:
‘‘America supports the international development
goals in the U.N. Millennium Declaration, and be-
lieves that these goals are a shared responsibility of
developed and developing countries.’’.
(2) Section 201(b)(4) of H.R. 1950, as passed
by the House of Representatives on July 16, 2003,
states that it is the policy of the United States to
support compacts of the Millennium Challenge Ac-
count which, among other things, aim ‘‘to reduce
poverty by significantly increasing the economic
growth trajectory of beneficiary countries through
investing in the productive potential of the people of
such countries’’.
(3) On May 10, 2004, the President recognized
the link between global poverty and the national se-
curity of the United States by stating: ‘‘In many na-
tions, poverty remains chronic and desperate. Half
the world’s people still live on less than $2 a day.
This divide between wealth and poverty, between op-
portunity and misery, is far more than a challenge
to our compassion. Persistent poverty and oppres-
sion can spread despair across an entire nation, and
they can turn nations of great potential into the re-
cruiting grounds of terrorists.’’.
(4) Section 602 of the Millennium Challenge
Act of 2003 (22 U.S.C. 7701) states that a purpose
of that Act is ‘‘the elimination of extreme poverty’’.
(5) The Report of the Committee on Inter-
national Relations to accompany H.R. 2441 of the
108th Congress (H. Rept. 108–205) states that
‘‘[f]or the Millennium Challenge Account to be suc-
cessful as an incentive for future reform as well as
a reward for past reform, it must offer opportunities
for those low-income countries whose institutions do
not yet meet all the eligibility criteria but who are
demonstrating partial success in meeting the eligi-
bility criteria’’.
(6) The purpose of section 616 of the Millen-
nium Challenge Act of 2003 (22 U.S.C. 7715), and
the ‘‘threshold program’’ established pursuant to
such section by the Millennium Challenge Corpora-
tion, in consultation with the United States Agency
for International Development, is to provide assist-
ance to the low-income countries described in para-
graph (5) in order to assist such countries to become
eligible countries under the Act.
(b) PURPOSE.—The purpose of this Act is to amend
the Millennium Challenge Act of 2003 to authorize fund-
ing of the ‘‘threshold program’’ under section 616 of such
Act for the same duration as the authorization of funding
for the overall Millennium Challenge Act of 2003.

Section 616(d) of the Millennium Challenge Act of
