              CHILD NUTRITION PROGRAMS INCREASED, NOT CUT

  (Mr. NORWOOD asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. NORWOOD. Mr. Speaker, that the other side continues to accuse us 
of cutting funding for child nutrition programs is ludicrous. I voted 
in committee to increase the funding child nutrition programs are 
receiving, yet people are calling my office worried that we are gutting 
these programs. We are increasing the funding and eliminating the 
wasteful Federal bureaucracy to send more money to the States. The 
charge that we are cutting funding is patently false. Mr. Speaker, I 
would simply ask that Americans look at the facts. It is a fact that we 
are putting more money in to child nutrition. It is a fact that our 
bill dismantles part of the Federal bureaucracy. And it is a fact that 
many Democrats receive significant campaign contributions from Federal 
bureaucrats every year. All I ask is that Americans consider the facts.
