Background material for a hearing on implementing regulations for two new child care programs is presented. The objective of the new programs is to provide care for children in low- or moderate-income families so that parents can work. The report was prepared by the Congressional Research Service (CRS) at the request of the Acting Chairman of the Subcommittee on Human Resources. This document includes the CRS background report; statutory language for the Title IV-A At-Risk Child Care Program and the Child Care and Development Block Grant Program, P.L.101-508; proposed regulations for each program; House of Representatives and Senate conference report provisions (H.R. 101-964) for the two child care programs; and selected comments received by the Department of Health and Human Services regarding its implementation regulations. Letters with comments are included from the House Committee on Education and Labor, Senate Committee on Labor and Human Resources, Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, House Committee on Ways and Means, National Governors' Association, American Public Welfare Association, and National Conference on State Legislatures. Comments cover parental choice, federalism, limited use of flexible block grant funds, and eligibility. (LB)

Based on more than 100 interviews with government officials and extensive archival research, this book looks at the politics behind child care legislation. Identifying key times at which major child care bills were introduced, Cohen examines the politics surrounding these events and subsequent political negotiations. Cohen also looks at the impact President Clinton had on child care policymaking and how child care legislation became part of other issues, including welfare reform and tax policy revisions.
