            By Mr. DUNCAN of South Carolina:
        H.R. 770.
        Congress has the power to enact this legislation pursuant 
     to the following:
       This legislation speaks to concerns normally within the 
     purview of the several states. However, in the past, the 
     federal government has taken powers beyond constitutional 
     reach as it relates to these programs. This legislation is 
     constitutional because it follows the desires of the 
     sovereign state of South Carolina as provided for by our 
     Governor. As such, it follows the 10th Amendment which 
     rightly holds these rights to the several sovereign states.
