The Welfare Reform Collection includes
material pertaining to legislative strategy, analysis of state plans, child
support, speeches, rollout of the Working Group's proposal, and various drafts
of welfare reform bills authored by the Working Group, Congress, and
public/private organizations. President Clinton established an interagency group, the White House
Working Group on Welfare Reform, Family Support, and Independence (1993-1994),
in order to carry out his campaign promise “to end welfare as we know
it.” The Working Group was co-chaired by Bruce Reed.
