     THE FOLKS AT HOME DO A BETTER JOB THAN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

  (Mrs. CUBIN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. CUBIN. Mr. Speaker, I want everyone to understand, and I want 
them to understand clearly, spending for the school meal programs will 
actually increase next year by at least 4 percent.
  In addition, cutting an entire layer of Washington bureaucracy and 
limiting administrative costs of these programs by 2 percent will give 
more money to be spent on food programs.
  Listen to this, the Republican proposal spends more money on the 
school lunch program and the school breakfast programs.
  Now, let us talk about who really cares here. There are 535 people in 
this organization in Washington here who make decisions for the whole 
country. There are three people who really care about the people in 
Wyoming, and the number of delegates that you have in your States that 
really care or know you. There are thousands of people in the State of 
Wyoming who care about feeding children, who care about our future, who 
care about our seniors, and those folks at home are responsive, and 
they will do a better job feeding our children than the Federal 
Government will.
