And still be eligible for these programs. I think that is a mistake. Thank you. Mr. Mcclintok. Did some states not follow the welfare reform requirements . I know back in california, the state excused people, the fiveyear time limit slightly reduced their benefits. The states Unemployment Rate which had been running well below the National Average had been running well above it. The reduction was miniscule to those experienced by other states. Did you study such comparisons . I have not done a fullfledged study of all the states and their approaches. There was flexibility but supposed to be strong Strings Attached that would be enforced by penalties should they fail to comply. Mr. Turner, any observations . The observation i have has to do with a growth of disability. Its taking over a lot of the low wage employment marketplace. 13 of philadelphia, working aged adults are, are either receiving ssi or ssdi. A lot of them came on when the rules were relaxed and allowed people with im loo
I think the v. A. Tries very hard to bring in counselors and psychologists who have that service. I will tell you that in vermont we initiated a program, an Outreach Program that is the people who do the outreach are all veterans. They are knocking on doors and talking to fellow veterans. That works well because they have a shared experience. They both know what they are talking about. I agree, everything being equal you want to get folks to do counseling who know what veterans have gone through. Host just to show you what took place at the hearing you can watch the whole thing on cspan. Org. The acting v. A. Attorney general Richard Griffin talking about issues at the v. A. [video clip] today, we have ongoing or scheduled work at 69 v. A. Medical facilities and have identified instances of manipulation of v. A. Data that distort the legitimacy of reported waiting times. When sufficient, credible evidence is identified supporting a potential violation of criminal law we are coordinatin

Since 60 of the 103 billion of dod funding, and we are not in a position to identify the total amount of waste, is there concern Going Forward theres going to be some of which are described, mr. Johnson, i would suspect that our friends at dod would do differently than the way you described it in terms of changing standards and why the standards were changed. What do we do to help convince them that this is ultimately necessary . And again i would go back to where i started. I would really urge you, for all of the analysis thats been done, it would be immensely helpful for us to the conversation not just about Going Forward, but if we cant acknowledge that we spent 100 billion we know billions have been wasted, but we cant really even identified some ballpark range of what that is and whether it comes from, then it makes it even hard
Help us close the achievement gap. I can tell you from being in the trenches and talking and seeing enough data so far to tell you, i guarantee you that will be the sixth one. About to beand its proven. I will give you an example. Project done in North Carolina in the 1970s. They did quality early child education. Aen done well, it inoculates child for three years. In this one, they went into the home every two weeks and taught the parents how to do homework with the kids. Those kids when tracked all the way through high school were graduating at much higher rates, going to college at much higher rates. Much less dropout rates. The home environment had changed. It had been changed. They were inoculated for the rest of their lives. Data . Ave those pieces of i just dont have enough. I know there will be enough data. Only good can come from involving them. Can i mandated for the schools . No. This goes under the premise of if the home environment does not change, can you close the achiev
