Message to the Congress Transmitting Proposed Child-Care Legislation

1989-03-15

To the Congress of the United States:

I am submitting the enclosed child care legislative proposals prepared by the Secretaries of the Treasury and Health and Human Services for consideration by the Congress. I urge the Congress to act promptly on these important proposals.

The proposals, entitled the ``Working Family Child Care Assistance Act of 1989'' and the ``Head Start Amendments of 1989,'' are a key part of my commitment to assist parents in making critical decisions about their children's care.

George Bush

The White House,

March 15, 1989.
