                      IMPACT OF PROPOSED SNAP CUTS

  (Mr. McGOVERN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, last month Republicans passed a budget 
that enables massive cuts that are going to kick people off of food 
assistance. Children, seniors, disabled veterans, workers--people who 
all rely on SNAP, the Supplemental Assistance Nutrition Program, to 
help purchase food when times get tough, Republicans want to rip it 
away, take food off the tables of hungry Americans.
  This is a program that is there for all of us. If you lose your job, 
if your hours get cut, if you become disabled or have trouble paying 
bills, you can turn to SNAP to help make ends meet.
  Republicans don't want to talk about how their cuts are going to hurt 
people. They haven't held one hearing or briefing on the program, so 
Democrats went around them. We are holding a hearing today at 3 p.m. to 
talk about their plan to steal people's food assistance so they can 
give tax breaks to billionaires.
  We will continue to expose the corruption as we work to end hunger 
now.
