         CHILDREN AT RISK WITH CUTBACKS ON SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM

  (Mr. SERRANO asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SERRANO. Mr. Speaker, let me see if I can get this right. The 
Republican approach is to lower taxes for the rich by taking the school 
lunch away from the children. The contract with America is undoing the 
legend of Robin Hood.
  Republicans who were elected last November never told the voters that 
they intended to bring pain to the children of our country. The mean-
spirited Republicans continue to set their sights on attacking those 
members of our society who are least able to fight back.
  This time they have gone too far and the American people are aware of 
the all-out assault on children in this country. The Republicans can 
try to mislead the people about the Social Security cuts but they are 
not going to be able to hide their attacks on the school lunch program 
and the children in our country.
  Day after day, Republicans come up with a new way to hurt helpless 
little 
 [[Page H2731]] children. Are the children a special interest group 
Republicans want to do away with?
  The voices of the American people are being heard. Do not hurt the 
children.
