41.   A look at three plans on overhauling the welfare program.

42.   A federal welfare program, Supplemental Security Income, or S.S.I., supports people who are, essentially, unable to work at all.

43.   A recession, Kogan said, would not only mean hardship for many people who previously would have benefited from social welfare programs.

44.   A. What Fox has to do, and what he talked about in his campaign, is show he has a high priority for social welfare programs.

45.   Administration officials warned that converting federal welfare programs into grants could hurt many states.

46.   Addressing the governors earlier, Dole attacked the president for not trusting the states with administering their own welfare programs.

47.   After all, tax cuts or welfare programs can be here today and changed tomorrow, depending on the next election.

48.   Aiming for total flexibility in running their welfare programs, they want no strings, even conservative ones, attached to the federal money.

49.   Also, many states have encouraged people to move from state welfare programs to Supplemental Security Income, so the federal government would pay more of the costs.

50.   All this would change if Republicans in Congress pass pending legislation to institute block grants that would virtually eliminate federal oversight of welfare programs through this waiver system.
