                   FEED THE KIDS, NOT THE BUREAUCRACY

  (Mr. KINGSTON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KINGSTON. Mr. Speaker, the Democrats' scare tactics never cease 
to amaze me. First they told the senior citizens if we pass the 
balanced budget amendment, you will never get another Social Security 
check. Next they went after the politicians. If the President has a 
line-item veto, you will never get a pork-barrel, I mean an economic 
development project, in your district again.
  Now it is the school kids. If we consolidate 16 different food and 
nutrition programs, lay off hundreds of bureaucrats and make the system 
more efficient, kids will go hungry.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask you, how hungry will these kids be when our 
country is broke? This debate is not about feeding the kids, but 
eliminating fat cat bureaucrats who have been picking the best helpings 
off children's plates for too long. Feed the kids, not the bureaucracy.
