        <DELETED>    (1) marriage is the foundation of a successful 
        society;</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (2) marriage is an essential social institution 
        which promotes the interests of children and society at 
        large;</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (3) the negative consequences of an out-of-wedlock 
        birth on the child, the mother, and society are well documented 
        as follows:</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (A) the illegitimacy rate among black 
                Americans was 26 percent in 1965, but today the rate is 
                68 percent and climbing;</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (B) the illegitimacy rate among white

                of all births by the year 2015 will be out-of-
                wedlock;</DELETED>

                <DELETED>    (E) the 1-parent family is 6 times more 
                likely to be poor than the 2-parent family;</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (F) children born into families receiving 
                welfare assistance are 3 times more likely than 
                children not born into families receiving welfare to be 
                on welfare when they reach adulthood;</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (G) teenage single parent mothering is the 
                single biggest contributor to low birth weight 
                babies;</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (H) children born out-of-wedlock are more 
                likely to experience low verbal cognitive attainment, 
                child abuse, and neglect;</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (I) young people from single parent or 
                stepparent families are 2 to 3 times more likely to 
                have emotional or behavioral problems than those from 
                intact families;</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (J) young white women who were raised in a 
                single parent family are more than twice as likely to 
                have children out-of-wedlock and to become parents as 
                teenagers, and almost twice as likely to have their 
                marriages end in divorce, as are children from 2-parent 
                families;</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (K) the younger the single parent mother, 
                the less likely she is to finish high school;</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (L) young women who have children before 
                finishing high school are more likely to receive 
                welfare assistance for a longer period of 
                time;</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (M) between 1985 and 1990, the public cost

                with dependent children program, the food stamp 
                program, and the medicaid program has been estimated at 
                $120,000,000,000;</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (N) the absence of a father in the life of 
                a child has a negative effect on school performance and 
                peer adjustment;</DELETED>

        care, and would save significant amounts of money if they 
        offered incentives to families to adopt special needs 
        children;</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (4) States should allocate sufficient funds under 
        this title for adoption assistance and medical assistance to 
        encourage more families to adopt children who otherwise would 
        languish in the foster care system for a period that many 
        experts consider detrimental to their development;</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (5) States should offer incentives for families 
        that adopt special needs children to make adoption more 
        affordable for middle-class families;</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (6) when it is necessary for a State to remove a 
        child from the home of the child's biological parents, the 
        State should strive--</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (A) to provide the child with a single 
                foster care placement and a single coordinated case 
                team; and</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (B) to conclude an adoption of the child,

                care; and</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (7) States should participate in local, regional, 
        or national programs to enable maximum visibility of waiting 
        children to potential parents. Such programs should include a 
        nationwide, interactive computer network to disseminate 
        information on children eligible for adoption to help match 
        them with families around the country.</DELETED>

<DELETED>SEC. 400. STATEMENTS OF NATIONAL POLICY CONCERNING WELFARE AND 
              IMMIGRATION.</DELETED>

<DELETED>    The Congress makes the following statements concerning 
national policy with respect to welfare and immigration:</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (1) Self-sufficiency has been a basic principle of 
        United States immigration law since this country's earliest 
        immigration statutes.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (2) It continues to be the immigration policy of 
        the United States that--</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (A) aliens within the nation's borders not 
                depend on public resources to meet their needs, but 
                rather rely on their own capabilities and the resources 
                of their families, their sponsors, and private 
                organizations, and</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (B) the availability of public benefits

                United States.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (3) Despite the principle of self-sufficiency, 
        aliens have been applying for and receiving public benefits

        rates.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (4) Current eligibility rules for public 
        assistance and unenforceable financial support agreements have 
        proved wholly incapable of assuring that individual aliens not 
        burden the public benefits system.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (5) It is a compelling government interest to 
        enact new rules for eligibility and sponsorship agreements in 
        order to assure that aliens be self-reliant in accordance with 
        national immigration policy.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (6) It is a compelling government interest to 
        remove the incentive for illegal immigration provided by the 
        availability of public benefits.</DELETED>

commodities distributed under this subtitle as follows:</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (1) 60 percent of the such total value of 
        commodities shall be allocated in a manner such that the value 
        of commodities allocated to each State bears the same ratio to 
        60 percent of such total value as the number of persons in 
        households within the State having incomes below the poverty 
        line bears to the total number of persons in households within 
        all States having incomes below such poverty line. Each State 
        shall receive the value of commodities allocated under this 
        paragraph.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (2) 40 percent of such total value of commodities 
        shall be allocated in a manner such that the value of 
        commodities allocated to each State bears the same ratio to 40 
        percent of such total value as the average monthly number of 
        unemployed persons within the State bears to the average 
        monthly number of unemployed persons within all States during 
        the same fiscal year. Each State shall receive the value of 
        commodities allocated to the State under this 
        paragraph.</DELETED>
<DELETED>    (b)(1) The Secretary shall notify each State of the amount 
of commodities that such State is allotted to receive under subsection 
(a) or this subsection, if applicable. Each State shall promptly notify 
the Secretary if such State determines that it will not accept any or 
all of the commodities made available under such allocation. On such a 
notification by a State, the Secretary shall reallocate and distribute 
such commodities as the Secretary deems appropriate and equitable. The 
Secretary shall further establish procedures to permit States to 
decline to receive portions of such allocation during each fiscal year 
as the State determines is appropriate and the Secretary shall 
reallocate and distribute such allocation as the Secretary deems 
appropriate and equitable.</DELETED>
<DELETED>    (2) In the event of any drought, flood, hurricane, or 
other natural disaster affecting substantial numbers of persons in a 
State, county, or parish, the Secretary may request that States 
unaffected by such a disaster consider assisting affected States by 
allowing the Secretary to reallocate commodities from such unaffected 
State to States containing areas adversely affected by the 
disaster.</DELETED>
<DELETED>    (c) Purchases of commodities under this subtitle shall be 
made by the Secretary at such times and under such conditions as the 
Secretary determines appropriate within each fiscal year. All 
commodities so purchased for each such fiscal year shall be delivered

procedures determined by the State agency, shall offer, or otherwise 
make available, its full allocation of commodities for distribution to 
emergency feeding organizations.</DELETED>
<DELETED>    (b) If the State agency determines that the State will not 
exhaust the commodities allocated under subsections (a) and (b) of 
section 515 through distribution to organizations referred to in 
subsection (a), its remaining allocation of commodities shall be 
distributed to charitable institutions described in section 523(3) not 
receiving commodities under subsection (a).</DELETED>
<DELETED>    (c) If the State agency determines that the State will not 
exhaust the commodities allocated under subsections (a) and (b) of 
section 515 through distribution to organizations referred to in 
subsections (a) and (b), its remaining allocation of commodities shall 
be distributed to any eligible recipient agency not receiving 
commodities under subsections (a) and (b).</DELETED>

<DELETED>SEC. 517. INITIAL PROCESSING COSTS.</DELETED>

Corporation to pay the costs of initial processing and packaging of 
commodities to be distributed under this subtitle into forms and in 
quantities suitable, as determined by the Secretary, for use by the 
individual households or eligible recipient agencies, as applicable. 
The Secretary may pay such costs in the form of Corporation-owned 
commodities equal in value to such costs. The Secretary shall ensure 
that any such payments in kind will not displace commercial sales of 
such commodities.</DELETED>

<DELETED>SEC. 518. ASSURANCES; ANTICIPATED USE.</DELETED>

<DELETED>    (a) The Secretary shall take such precautions as the 
Secretary deems necessary to ensure that commodities made available 
under this subtitle will not displace commercial sales of such 
commodities or the products thereof. The Secretary shall submit to the 
Committee on Agriculture of the House of Representatives and the 
Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry of the Senate by 
December 31, 1997, and not less than every two years thereafter, a 
report as to whether and to what extent such displacements or 
substitutions are occurring.</DELETED>
<DELETED>    (b) The Secretary shall determine that commodities 
provided under this subtitle shall be purchased and distributed only in 
quantities that can be consumed without waste. No eligible recipient 
agency may receive commodities under this subtitle in excess of

of its ability to accept and store such commodities.</DELETED>

<DELETED>SEC. 519. AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.</DELETED>

<DELETED>    (a) Purchase of Commodities.--To carry out this subtitle,

        commodities by eligible recipient agencies under this subtitle,

        commodities distributed under section 520. Funds appropriated 
        under this paragraph for any fiscal year shall be allocated to 
        the States on an advance basis dividing such funds among the 
        States in the same proportions as the commodities distributed 
        under this subtitle for such fiscal year are allocated among 
        the States. If a State agency is unable to use all of the funds 
        so allocated to it, the Secretary shall reallocate such unused 
        funds among the other States in a manner the Secretary deems 
        appropriate and equitable.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (2)(A) A State shall make available in each fiscal 
        year to eligible recipient agencies in the State not less than 
        40 percent of the funds received by the State under paragraph 
        (1) for such fiscal year, as necessary to pay for, or provide 
        advance payments to cover, the allowable expenses of eligible 
        recipient agencies for distributing commodities to needy 
        persons, but only to the extent such expenses are actually so 
        incurred by such recipient agencies.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (B) As used in this paragraph, the term 
        ``allowable expenses'' includes--</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (i) costs of transporting, storing, 
                handling, repackaging, processing, and distributing 
                commodities incurred after such commodities are 
                received by eligible recipient agencies;</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (ii) costs associated with determinations 
                of eligibility, verification, and 
                documentation;</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (iii) costs of providing information to 
                persons receiving commodities under this subtitle 
                concerning the appropriate storage and preparation of 
                such commodities; and</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (iv) costs of recordkeeping, auditing, and 
                other administrative procedures required for 
                participation in the program under this 
                subtitle.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (C) If a State makes a payment, using State funds, 
        to cover allowable expenses of eligible recipient agencies, the 
        amount of such payment shall be counted toward the amount a 
        State must make available for allowable expenses of recipient 
        agencies under this paragraph.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (3) States to which funds are allocated for a 
        fiscal year under this subsection shall submit financial 
        reports to the Secretary, on a regular basis, as to the use of 
        such funds. No such funds may be used by States or eligible 
        recipient agencies for costs other than those involved in 
        covering the expenses related to the distribution of 
        commodities by eligible recipient agencies.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (4)(A) Except as provided in subparagraph (B), to 
        be eligible to receive funds under this subsection, a State 
        shall provide in cash or in kind (according to procedures 
        approved by the Secretary for certifying these in-kind 
        contributions) from non-Federal sources a contribution equal to 
        the difference between--</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (i) the amount of such funds so received; 
                and</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (ii) any part of the amount allocated to 
                the State and paid by the State--</DELETED>
                        <DELETED>    (I) to eligible recipient 
                        agencies; or</DELETED>
                        <DELETED>    (II) for the allowable expenses of 
                        such recipient agencies; for use in carrying 
                        out this subtitle.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (B) Funds allocated to a State under this section 
        may, upon State request, be allocated before States satisfy the 
        matching requirement specified in subparagraph (A), based on 
        the estimated contribution required. The Secretary shall 
        periodically reconcile estimated and actual contributions and 
        adjust allocations to the State to correct for overpayments and 
        underpayments.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (C) Any funds distributed for administrative costs 
        under section 520(b) shall not be covered by this 
        paragraph.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (5) States may not charge for commodities made 
        available to eligible recipient agencies, and may not pass on 
        to such recipient agencies the cost of any matching 
        requirements, under this subtitle.</DELETED>
<DELETED>    (c) The value of the commodities made available under 
subsections (c) and (d) of section 512, and the funds of the Commodity

Committee on Agriculture of the House of Representatives and the 
Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry of the

may permit low-income elderly persons (as defined by the Secretary) to 
participate in and be served by such program.</DELETED>
<DELETED>    (f)(1) If it is necessary for the Secretary to pay a 
significantly higher than expected price for one or more types of 
commodities purchased under this section, the Secretary shall promptly 
determine whether the price is likely to cause the number of persons

decline.</DELETED>
<DELETED>    (2) If the Secretary determines that such a decline would 
occur, the Secretary shall promptly notify the State agencies charged 
with operating the program of the decline and shall ensure that a State
