...will save the federal government nearly $56 billion in the next six years, and fundamentally changes the welfare system in the United States. Setting a five-year limit on how long families can receive welfare, the bill requires healthy adults to start working again after two years on the dole and provides hardship exemptions for up to 20 percent of welfare beneficiaries. Under the bill, states would receive block grants to operate the programs, along with the right to set their own welfare rules, such as ending benefits before the five-year mark. The legislation is designed to move people...
WASHINGTON, D.C.: Denied a chance to air his opinions live at the Republican Convention in August, Pat Buchanan held a press conference Wednesday to release his version of the GOP agenda and to outline his requirements for endorsing Bob Dole. In his platform, Buchanan reiterates his support for a constitutional ban on abortion, for broad tax cuts, a crackdown on immigration and isolationist trade policies.

Buchanan, like the rest of Dole's primary challengers, had been offered the opportunity to address delegates and the nation via video presentation, and to appear with Bob Dole in a show of unity after the Kansan receives the nomination. But after details of the agreement leaked to the media last weekend, Bay Buchanan, his campaign manager, released a statement decrying his shabby treatment and calling the offer "an affront to the millions who believe...
...constitutional amendment to outlaw abortion, while fewer than half of the delegates want to retain the controversial language. A full quarter of the delegates do not know how they stand, or didn't answer the question. The moderates may have a highly placed friend. Presumptive presidential nominee Bob Dole wants it both ways. He favors adding new language to the plank acknowledging that the issue is divisive, and welcoming both pro-life and pro-choice voters. TIME's Michael Duffy says pro-life activists like Pat Buchanan and his allies need not fear. "When abortion is concerned, the Republican right...
