(v), (vi), and (vii) as (iv), (v), and (vi), respectively, to reflect the probable intent of Congress, because par. (1) does not contain a cl.

Pub. L. 95–437, §2, Oct. 10, 1978, 92 Stat. 1055 , provided that:

"(C) provides parents opportunities to balance family responsibilities with the need for additional income;
