From The NOSSCR Conference -- Jim McDermott's Aide

Jim McDermott, the Chair of the House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Income Support and Family Security, was supposed to speak at the NOSSCR Conference today, but Congressional business kept him away. One of his aides, a Ms. Bernson, if I understood her name correctly, spoke in his behalf. It seemed that she was delevering a speech written for delivery by Representative McDermott. The only news which I got from her presentation was that Mr. McDermott thinks the earned income and resource limits in the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program need adjustment, including an automatic cost of living adjustment -- and the subocmmittee he chairs has jurisdiction over SSI.
