Bush will repeal Clinton-era family leave plan
By CHRISTOPHER MARQUIS THE NEW YORK TIMES

WASHINGTON -- The Bush administration will repeal a Clinton-era rule that allows
states to use unemployment insurance money to help new parents who take a leave
from work, officials said yesterday.

The executive action will effectively shut down legislative efforts in as many as 16
states to make unemployment compensation money available to working parents who
have taken time off to care for a newborn or adopted child.
