RESOLUTION
To establish a special ad hoc committee to review the current
welfare system and to report comprehensive welfare re-
form legislation.
Resolved,
SECTION 1. FINDINGS.
The House of Representatives find that—
(1) three primary low-income assistance pro-
grams (aid to families with dependent children
(AFDC), food stamps, and medicaid) and other wel-
fare programs were created in a good-faith effort to
provide needed assistance to a specific population;
(2) amendments to authorizing legislation have
resulted in a patchwork approach to problems that
•HRES 330 IH
have surfaced within each program, creating dif-
ferences in legislative and regulatory policy, thereby
causing additional conflicts;
(3) as a result of the unique histories and mis-
sions of these three programs, each program is with-
in the jurisdiction of a different committee;
(4) partly as a result of this, policies, laws, and
regulations restrict the ability of the program ad-
ministrators to provide coordinated, timely, and ap-
propriate benefits to those eligible for more than one
type of assistance;
(5) four committees and five subcommittees ex-
ercise primary authorization and oversight respon-
sibilities for the three programs; and
(6) this jurisdictional oversight has contributed
to complexity, duplication, and lack of coordination
among the three programs.
SEC. 2. ESTABLISHMENT OF COMMITTEE.
There is established a special ad hoc Committee on
Welfare Reform (referred to as the ‘‘Committee’’) to be
composed of—
(1) 4 members of the Committee on Agri-
culture—
