IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
JANUARY 26, 1994

A BILL
To provide supplemental security income benefits to needy

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Children’s Security Act
of 1994’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND STATEMENT OF PURPOSE.
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that—
(1) 14,300,000, or 1 out of every 5, children in
the United States live in poverty;
(2) an unprecedented 12,000,000 children in
the United States go to sleep hungry every day, un-
sure about when they will have their next meal;
(3) 100,000 children in the United States go
day after day without a roof over their heads;
(4) 10,000,000 children in the United States
have no health insurance;
(5) significant cuts in Federal programs to help
the poor over the last decade, coupled with economic
setbacks for families with children and increasing
child care costs for low income working parents,
have pushed child poverty rates back up to 1965
levels;
(6) crucial income support programs such as
Aid to Families with Dependent Children and unem-
ployment insurance have been eroded over the last
decade beyond their already inadequate levels; and
(7) proposals to further reduce support for fam-
ilies in poverty are receiving serious consideration at
the State and Federal levels.
(b) STATEMENT OF PURPOSE.—The purpose of this
Act is to create a safety net for children in the United
States, which will provide children in poverty with income
support in order to assure that they have adequate shelter,
nutrition, clothing, education, and health care.
