SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) undernutrition can permanently retard physical growth, 
        brain development, and cognitive functioning of children;
            (2) the longer a child's nutritional, emotional, and 
        educational needs go unmet, the greater the likelihood of 
        cognitive impairment;
            (3) low-income children who attend school hungry score 
        significantly lower on standardized tests than non-hungry low-
        income children; and
            (4) supplemental nutrition programs under the National 
        School Lunch Act (42 U.S.C. 1751 et seq.) and the Child 
        Nutrition Act of 1966 (42 U.S.C. 1771 et seq.) can help to 
        offset threats posed to a child's capacity to learn and perform 
        in school that result from inadequate nutrient intake.

SEC. 3. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) funds should be made available for child nutrition 
        programs to remove barriers to the participation of needy 
        children in the school lunch program, school breakfast program, 
        summer food service program for children, and the child and 
        adult care food program under the National School Lunch Act (42 
        U.S.C. 1751 et seq.) and the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 (42 
        U.S.C. 1771 et seq.);
            (2) the Secretary of Agriculture should take actions to 
        further strengthen the efficiency of child nutrition programs 
        by streamlining administrative requirements to reduce the 
        administrative burden on participating schools and other meal 
        providers; and
            (3) as a part of efforts to continue to serve nutritious 
        meals to youths in the United States and to educate the general 
        public regarding health and nutrition issues, the Secretary of 
        Agriculture should take actions to coordinate the nutrition 
        education efforts of all nutrition programs.

        fresh fruits and vegetables refused by the school food 
        authority. The value of any fresh fruits and vegetables refused
