  379. Rep. Jim Oberstar, D-Minn., introduced a bill Thursday to expand and double the adoption tax credit in an effort to help more families afford to adopt children.
  380.  
  381. Oberstar said support has been building slowly since he first introduced a $500 tax deduction for adoption expenses in 1975. At the time, he said, Congress thought giving $500 to families was like the "sinking of the Titanic" and that it would break the budget.
  382.  
  383. The ban prohibits any overseas organization that gets U.S. aid for family planning from using money from other sources for abortion counseling, abortion referrals, performing abortions or lobbying to liberalize abortion laws.

  441. Rep. Jim Oberstar, D-Minn., introduced a bill Thursday to expand and double the adoption tax credit in an effort to help more families afford to adopt children.
  442.  
  443. Oberstar, who adopted a son 32 years ago, has been a staunch supporter of easing the financial burden for adoptive families since 1975.
  444.  
  445. He said adoptions cost between $8,000 and $20,000.
  446.  
  447. The bill would increase the adoption tax credit to $10,000 for all adoptions. The bill also would adjust the credit for inflation and would aid families with incomes of as much as $190,000 a year.
  448.  
  449. The $10,000 could be applied toward adoption fees, court costs, attorney fees and travel expenses.
  450.  
  451. The cost of increasing the credit has not been determined, but a similar bill last year had a price tag of $4.9 billion over 10 years.
  452.  
  453. "The cost of this, in social terms, is nothing," said Rep. Jim DeMint, R-S.C.
  454.  
  455. The Hope Coalition, a bipartisan group of House members of which Oberstar is a member, is pushing to attach the bill to President Bush's tax-cut proposal.
  456.  
  457. Wendy Cook, an adoption counselor for Minneapolis-based Crossroads Adoption Services, said the increase would help middle-income families afford adoption without throwing them into debt.
  458.  
  459. "They've got the money to raise a child, to parent a child, what they don't have is the lump sum to pay the adoption fees," Cook said.
  460.  
  461. Oberstar said support has been building slowly since he first introduced a $500 tax deduction for adoption expenses in 1975. At the time, he said, Congress thought giving $500 to families was like the "sinking of the Titanic" and that it would break the budget.
  462.  
  463. Now, 188 House members are co-sponsoring the new bill. Senate members introduced an identical bill on Jan. 23.
  464.  
  465. Bill targets Bush's curbs
  466.  
  467. on family-planning funds
  468.  
  469. A bipartisan group of legislators launched a bid to overturn Bush's ban on giving federal funds to international family-planning groups that use other money to pay for abortion-related activity.
  470.  
  471. The bill would overturn the ban, one of Bush's first acts as president, by prohibiting the government from dictating how foreign organizations use money received from other sources. At stake are the criteria these groups must meet in order to qualify for a grant from a pot of $425 million. Among other requirements, the aid recipients must agree in writing not to lobby to change abortion laws.
  472.  
  473. The legislation has a good chance of passing in the Senate, which historically has been more supportive of family planning and abortion rights. Its prospects are more uncertain in the House, where the Republican majority could use parliamentary procedures to thwart it.
  474.  
  475. The ban prohibits any overseas organization that gets U.S. aid for family planning from using money from other sources for abortion counseling, abortion referrals, performing abortions or lobbying to liberalize abortion laws.
  476.  
  477. Direct use of U.S. money for abortion-related activities by international organizations has been blocked since 1973.

  479. McCollum joins boycott
  480.  
  481. over education programs
  482.  
  483. Rep. Betty McCollum, D-Minn., has joined a group of House Democrats who are boycotting their subcommittee assignments as part of a dispute over minority education programs.
  484.  
  485. House Republicans voted to create a subcommittee to address "educational competitiveness" in the 21st century. But under the proposal, historically black and Hispanic institutions would not be included. Instead, they would be relegated to a subcommittee that addresses community colleges and such social issues as juvenile justice, runaway youth and child abuse programs.
  486.  
  487. "I am appalled that the Republican House leadership intends to enter the 21st century grasping on to a 1950s `separate, but equal' concept for our educational system," McCollum said. "At best, this is insensitive, at worst, deplorable and plainly indefensible."
  488.  
  489. McCollum, a member of the Education and Workforce Committee, said Democrats would boycott all subcommittee selection until the decision is reversed.
  490.  
  491. In a letter to Bush, congressional Hispanic and Black Caucus members joined Education Committee members to express disappointment.
  492.  
  493. "There is a negative implication when you consider the fact that minority higher education has been combined with programs directed toward at-risk youth programs," the letter read. "This would suggest minority higher education initiatives are for troubled youth."
  494.  
  495. Wellstone cosponsors
  496.  
  497. energy-assistance bill
  498.  
  499. Sen. Paul Wellstone, D-Minn., cosponsored a bill Thursday that would assist families facing high energy prices.
  500.  
  501. "This initiative will be crucial in providing relief to those who have suffered from these skyrocketing prices," Wellstone said.
  502.  
  503. The bill would increase spending levels for three programs: the low-income energy-assistance program, weatherization and state energy conservation grants. Cost estimates were not available.
