                         January 19, 1999

                         BY JUDITH HAVEMANN AND WALTER PINCUS WASHINGTON POST

                         WASHINGTON--President Clinton will propose in his State of the Union address tonight a $1
                         billion expansion of the federal government's efforts to help the nation's most disadvantaged
                         families move from welfare to work, White House officials said Monday.

                         The officials said the initiative will help about 200,000 welfare families get jobs.

                         ``Despite the enormous progress we have made in the last few years in moving people from welfare
                         to work, we need to make an extra effort for the people still on the rolls because they will be the
                         hardest to place,'' said presidential adviser Bruce Reed.

                         The initiative is aimed at increasing employment of low-income, absent fathers of children on
                         welfare, so they can pay child support and get involved in their children's lives. Many of these
                         fathers have prison records, and only 30 percent have held a job in the past year, according to a
                         recent study. Only about 10 percent to 15 percent of children on public assistance receive any formal
                         child support from their absent parent.

                         Clinton also plans to propose a tax credit of up to $500 per child, age 1 or younger, to offset costs
                         for parents who choose to stay home to care for their kids. The proposal is part of a larger child care
                         package that seeks $18 billion over five years to aid working poor and middle-class families.

                         The administration also will propose $1 billion over five years to improve health care for many of
                         the nation's...
