HEW Secretary Caspar W. Weinberger said the regulations, most of them taking effect July 1, are designed "to get families off the welfare rolls and onto the job rolls, and keep them there." He said the new regulations will increase a services from 317,000 children this fiscal year to 532,000 in fiscal 1974 under social services, excluding another 466,000 openings that will be provided under other social security programs.
