Mr. Dwight Jones,
Case Officer
Department of Health and Human Services, 
Washington D.C.

I just had my third child, what are you going to do about it!? You are 
supposed to help me take care of these kids and you don't do anything. 
I had my second child last year but you still haven't give me anything 
for that. My first child died, as enclosed here, so he don't count. 
But, I'm seeing a good man now and can get pregnant any day if it's 
OK with the government. So I'd like to take the first child's money 
for this one instead.
You know I am very disappointed with you people. You're all full of 
talk and say you'll do this and that. I have three kids already and 
you've barely caught up with the first one. This program of yours is 
supposed to do it's part when I do my part. Well I am doing my part 
so it's about time you came through and did yours. I'm going to write 
my congressman and tell'm how you've been wasting time instead of giving 
me what you owe me.

Betty J. Washington
