• 7rix Arravionx,rx- GEN Jun riAorrcm October 24, 1988 ATTORNEY GENERAL The Honorable William P. Clements, Jr. Governor of Texas Office of the Governor Austin, TX 78711 Dear Governor Clements: I want to extend my sincerest thanks for your leadership in proposing and supporting budget execution for child support enforcement. By your action, our Child Support Enforcement Division will be able to assist many thousands of women and children who are currently unserved or underserved in securing enforcement of child support. Your action will also help assist in continuing to remove families from AFDC rolls, many of whom had to turn to welfare because non-custodial parents ignored their legal and moral responsibilities to support their children. I would like to commend your staff, in particular Ron Lindsey, for the many hours spent in working out the details of the budget execution proposal. Again, my personal thanks for your willingness to use your authority to obtain additional funds for child support enforcement. Please let me know when I may be of assistance to you. Yours incerely, Jim Mattox Texas Attorney General cc: Ron Lindsey George Bayoud Mike Toomey 512/463..2100 SUPREME COURT BUILDING AUSTIN, TEXAS 78711-2545
