Ladies and Gentlemen :
I have several comments on your letter of March 19. First, as you are
aware by now, SB 122 was defeated in the House on March 19. I supported
its passage, but the will of the majority leaned the other direction.
In the committee hearings on Senate Bill 71 . Many people spoke of the
need to adequately fund Social Service agencies to deal with increased case
load. The appropriations committee heeded their advice and has included
what I believe to be an appropriate sum in the Long Bill .
Senate Bill 38 has several problems, two of which you mention in your letter.
Also, I am afraid that passage of this bill in its current form would neces-
sitate a re-allocation of funds from nursing homes that would be detrimental
to the total range of care for the elderly. For these reasons I did not
support the bill in the House HEWI committee and will vote against it if
it comes to the floor.
Thank you for your concern. I appreciate your letters informing me of your
positions on pending legislation.
Sincerely,
