            By Mr. HUELSKAMP:
        H.R. 1355.
        Congress has the power to enact this legislation pursuant 
     to the following:
       This legislation is introduced under the authority of 
     Article I, Section 8, Clause 1 and the Tenth Amendment to the 
     United States Constitution. This bill restores the proper 
     balance of power between the federal and state governments as 
     intended under the Tenth Amendment to the United States 
     Constitution by devolving the responsibility of providing 
     food assistance for low income citizens to the states. It 
     reinforces the founding constitutional principle that state 
     governments are properly situated with attending to their 
     citizens' health, safety, and general welfare.
