----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: All savings are paygo, unless otherwise stated.
\1\ The budget includes a proposal to pay incentive payments to States that increase adoptions from the foster
care system. The budget assumes incentive payments of up to $108 million over 1999-2002 for these payments. It
is anticipated that reduced foster care payments would offset the outlays from any incentives paid.
\2\ Also affects Bureau of Land Management, Fish and Wildlife Services, and Forest Service. Current proposal
would make available all new receipts to the collections agency (no net savings).
\3\ Net Government savings is $300 million less annually because of offsetting costs to the Medicaid program.
