GOP . . . END WELFARE AS WE KNOW IT

Capitol Hill Republicans unveiled plans to repeal the guarantee of welfare for every eligible American and to deny cash assistance tounwed teen mothers. Rep. Clay Shaw (R-Fla.) says the proposal will clear its first House subcommittee next week. Vermont Gov. Howard Dean, chairman of the National Governors' Association, wants the reforms to include a "guarantee that hungry children get fed." Dean told TIME Daily that he expects little sympathy for his view in the party-line, GOP-dominated House. He plans a stronger push in the Senate.
