WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, during his weekly radio address, President Clinton announced the recipients of High-Performance Bonus (HPB) Grants for Fiscal Year 1999.

In addition, he announced that the Department of Health and Human Services is issuing proposed regulations to expand the HPB program to include measures that would reward states for doing an exceptional job in providing food stamps and Medicaid to eligible families, thus requiring states to track their success in providing these services. Moreover, beginning immediately, all states that wish to compete for HPB grants would be required to certify that they are taking certain steps to inform eligible families about their options under these programs.

If these reports are accurate, this deal represents a tremendous victory for the American taxpayer. This agreement will end the sweetheart deal which lets oil companies shortchange American schoolchildren, states, and Indian tribes of millions of dollars in royalty payments each year. This agreement shows that the days of big oil's dominance in the U.S. Capitol are coming to a long overdue end," Maloney stated.
