   DEMOCRATS WILL NOT BE HAPPY UNTIL EVERY CHILD GETS GOOD NUTRITION

  (Mrs. SCHROEDER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. SCHROEDER. Mr. Speaker, the Los Angeles Times today reports that 
when Speaker Newt Gingrich was asked about the Democrats and the school 
lunch program, he said, ``The Democrats won't be happy until every 
child gets a Ferrari.''
  Let me tell you, this is not a school car program, this is a school 
lunch program, and the Democrats will not be happy until every child 
gets good nutrition, ``Why Johnny can't eat.'' We are not talking about 
happy meals with little prizes in them, and we are not talking about 
big fancy cars, because we do not give them to our kids; besides which, 
I must say to the Speaker, if Democrats were going to give anything, 
they would give a Ford.
