                       FREE LUNCH TO EVERY CHILD

  (Mr. KHANNA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. KHANNA. Mr. Speaker, Art Ellison has one final wish: to provide 
free lunch to students in need.
  Art, a Democrat from the New Hampshire State House, is currently in 
hospice and knows he doesn't have long to live. He is using his final 
time to try and pass a bill to increase eligibility for free lunch to 
all students at or below 350 percent of the Federal poverty line.
  Making kids go hungry is cruel. That is why I am on a bill with 
Senator Sanders to provide free lunch and free meals to every child. We 
can do it for $3.30 a day.
  Let us honor Art Ellison and get this done. He represents the best of 
politics.
