by Bill Harrington - National Director

Bill Harrington, of Washington State, President of the American Fathers Alliance, who serves as Commissioner on the U.S. Commission on Child & Family Welfare, representing fathers - non-custodial parents - and second families; will speak about the emotional and psychological research done and the undermining effective of child support collections as major reasons for overturning the Burgess decision.

Harrington is in California for Governor Wilson's Fatherhood Conference in Sacramento June 24th-25th-26th at the Downtown Red Lion Inn. Harrington was the only fathers movement leader allowed to testify before both the United States Senate Finance Committee as well as the House Ways & Means Committee in support of National Welfare Reform. 1994-1995:

There is growing awareness for the critical factor of increasing fathers participation in children's lives following parental separation, and the Burgess decision undermines this National trend and policy preference and makes father involvement even more problematic.
Copies of the Final Report of the U.S. Commission on Child & Family Welfare, just submitted to the Congress and President, will be available for purchase at the meeting as well as copies of other reports and research on the importance of father involvement and positive father parenting.

The meeting is open to the public and everyone is welcome.
