        THE ATTACK ON POOR, DISADVANTAGED, AND HUNGRY PEOPLE ACT

  (Mr. DANNY K. DAVIS of Illinois asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DANNY K. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I rise to express strong 
opposition to H.R. 3102, what I call the Attack on Poor, Disadvantaged, 
and Hungry People Act. This bill will cut food stamps by $40 billion; 
and, as a result of that, at least 4 million low-income individuals 
will no longer be eligible to receive nutrition assistance.
  I say shame on whoever concocted this draconian idea, whoever put 
this proposal together, and certainly shame on us if we vote for it.
