THE FACTS ON REPUBLICANS AND NUTRITION PROGRAMS
(Mr. HAYWORTH asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. HAYWORTH. Mr. Speaker, I will depart from my prepared text
directly
[[Page H2899]] to answer my good friend from Wisconsin. First of all,
my friend, you know it is an out and out falsehood; we will not take
apples nor milk nor any food out of the mouths of the children of this
country.
Once again, let us engage in some elementary mathematics. We propose,
as Republicans, to up the budget spent, to up the allocation to $200
million over what President Clinton asked for in the food program. We
propose an increase of 4.5 percent for next year.
We propose giving the power to feed these children to people on the
front lines fighting the battle. I wish my friends on the other side
would stop this demagoguery and deal with the facts, Mr. Speaker. Those
are the facts and that is the difference we will make for America.
