Abstract:
JOHN HUTCHINS, CLASP COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR: Hello, and welcome to the 2004 CLASP Audio Conference Series entitled “The Squeeze: Helping Low-Income Families in an Era of Dwindling Resources.” My name is John Hutchins, and I’m the Communications Director here at CLASP. I’ll be filling in this year for your regular host, Jodie Levin-Epstein, who’s on a fellowship in New Zealand until July. We’re really pleased to kick off this 11th season of CLASP Audio Conferences with today’s guest, Wade Horn, who, as you all know, is the Assistant Secretary for Children and Families at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Welcome, Dr. Horn. WADE HORN, ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES, U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES: It’s good to be with you, John. JOHN HUTCHINS: Thanks for being a part of this call. WADE HORN: My pleasure. JOHN HUTCHINS: Interest in this conference call has been overwhelming. In fact, Dr. Horn, you’ve set a record for the number of registrants for a CLASP Audio Conference. We estimate that there are nearly 800 people listening in more than 220 locations in 43 states and D.C. WADE HORN: I didn’t realize I had that many relatives out there. (excerpt)
