Statement By Tommy G. Thompson
Secretary of Health and Human Services
Regarding Senate Action on TANF Reauthorization
It is disappointing that a minority of U.S. Senators is preventing the Senate from voting to reauthorize the landmark welfare to work legislation. Welfare reform is a remarkable success story for millions of American families who were once dependent upon a welfare check and now look forward to the independence of a paycheck. The Senate should come together in a bipartisan fashion and vote to reauthorize the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program.
