Morrison, director of the

said the informed con-

h projects are now being

s month.
ison said the approval

process was proof before Elec-
tion Day that the research would
be tightly monitored, contrary
to campaign ads from opposition
groups.
"Far from allowing completely
unregulated research, within the
University now, the first step is not
to start the research, but to spend
months going through the regula-
tory process," he said.
President-elect Barack Obama
has said he will overturnthe feder-
al ban on federally funded human
embryonic stem cell research
when he becomes president. Mor-
rison said he expects the move to
be one of Obama's first once he
takes office.
Had state voters not passed
Proposal 2, University researchers
wouldn't be able to compete for
newly appropriated federal fund-
ing for stem cell research.
"Over the next couple of years
I expect that millions of dollars
in new isvestment will flow into
the state of Michigan as a result of
Proposal 2, allowingus to compete
for the money that the federal gov-
ernment and private foundations
will invest in this area," Morrison
said.

Auto executives
presented plans to
Congress yesterday
LANSING (AP) - Gov. Jennifer
Granholm on Tuesday encouraged
President-elect Barack Obama
to get behind a plan to help the
struggling auto industry.
The Michigan governor met
personally with Obama Tues-
day during a National Governors
Association meeting in Philadel-
phia and "and urged him to be
supportive."
"He did say he was looking
forward personally to seeing the
plans," Granholm told report-
ers in a conference call after the
meeting.
Detroit's automakers, making a
second bid for $25 billion in fund-
ing, were presenting Congress

with plans Tuesday to restructure
their ailing companies and pro-
vide assurances that the funding
will help them survive and thrive.
"I have spoken with each of the
CEOs of the Big Three and with
Ron Gettelfinger of the UAW ...
about what I have been hearing on
Capitol Hill on what the expecta-
tions were, what I've been hear-
ing from the (Obama) transition
team," she said.
She was encouraged by what
she has seen so far of the domes-
tic automakers' plans, such as
promises to drastically cut some
executives' pay and sell or kill off
some brands. She said she expects
each company's respective plan
for moving forward will be very
specific.
"I'm hopeful it puts them in
the right place and that Congress
acts quickly, because time is of the
essence," she said.

Enablingthedomesticautomak-
ers to remain solvent is important
to the nation, not just Michigan,
because so many jobs are at stake,
Granholm said.
Later in a television appear-
ance, Granholm warned of the
danger of letting the automakers
fail.
The way to "take a recession
and turn it into a depression" is
for Congress to reject the car-
makers' aid request, Granholm
said on PBS's NewsHour with Jim
Lehrer. "This would have a huge
detrimental effect on the nation's
economy."
Obama supports vehicles pow-
ered by alternative fuel, and
Granholm said the federal gov-
ernment should help the domestic
automakers move toward creating
more of those vehicles.
"We don't want to outsource
that technology," she said.

MENTAL HEALTH
From Page 1A
SupplementalSecurityIncome,you
will find yourself with no work and
no welfare," Danziger said. "That's
the new post-welfare situation."
In the study, which Danziger
conducted from 1997 to 2003, he
asked women to identify "barri-
ers", that prevented them from
working like limited work experi-
ence, learning disabilities, drug or
alcohol abuse, domestic abuse and
mental health disorders.
Danziger told the audience of
about 50 people that the results
were striking. Among those inter-
viewed, he said, nearly 70 percent
identified at least one barrier and
almost half claimed two or more.
"The bottom line is we've

learned a lot about the mental
health problems that affect a sub-
stantial minority of welfare recipi-
ents," he said.
Danziger said that while the
1996 reform decreased the num-
ber of Americans living in poverty,
welfare policy must be adjusted to
more in need.
"One would hope that some
attention would be paid on the
womenfallingthroughthecracks,"
he said. "In the current economic
environment, this is clearly not a
top policy priority."
Danziger said he doesn't fore-
see a return to the cash welfare
entitlement of 1936 to 1996, but he
believes welfare agencies should
screen recipients who have trouble
finding and keeping jobs. These
screenings should include health
and mental health tests and oppor-

tunities for assistance, he said.
During the talk, he also voiced
support of higher minimum wage,
expanded earned income tax
credit and state children's health
insurance program, all of which
President-elect Barack Obama has
called priorities for his incoming
administration.
RackhamstudentHeidi Kaplan,
who said she attended the lecture
because she's interested in the
topic of welfare reform, said the
lecture changed her opinion on
the topic.
"The results were surprising,"
she said. "I felt really uneducated.
The Welfare to Work program
actually put people back to work
to a degree. Frankly, Ihad thought
it was a damaging program, and as
a public policy student I'm kind of
dismayed I was not more aware."
