                    IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

                             March 24, 1995

    which was referred to the Committee on Economic and Educational

                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
Expressing the sense of the Congress that any legislation passed by the 
Congress relating to assistance for school lunch and breakfast programs 
should include a requirement to provide free lunches and breakfasts to 
                  economically disadvantaged students.

Whereas the school lunch and breakfast programs under the National School Lunch 
        Act and the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 have proven to be cost effective 
        and instrumental in improving the health of children and families in the 
        United States;
Whereas students whose annual family income does not exceed 130 percent of the 
        applicable family size income levels contained in the most recent income 
        poverty guidelines prescribed by the Office of Management and Budget are 
        provided free lunches and breakfasts under these programs; and
Whereas access to nutritious programs such as the school lunch and breakfast 
        programs make children better able to learn, and, as a result, these 
        children will be more productive members of society later in life: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of the Congress that any legislation passed by the 
Congress relating to assistance for school lunch and school breakfast 
programs should include a requirement to provide free lunches and 
breakfasts to students whose annual family income does not exceed 130 
percent of the applicable family size income levels contained in the 
most recent income poverty guidelines prescribed by the Office of 
Management and Budget and based on data provided by the Bureau of the 
Census.
