                               SNAP CUTS

  (Mr. QUIGLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. QUIGLEY. Mr. Speaker, last weekend, I visited Saint Sabina Church 
in Chicago for emergency food distribution.
  There, I talked to a single mother with a young child with 
disabilities. She showed up in the cold 4 hours early for a food 
distribution of a single box of food. Without her November SNAP 
payment, she said that she would have to skip meals to make ends meet.
  I also talked to seniors who were deciding whether to purchase their 
groceries or their medicine for the month.
  For these Chicagoans, the administration's delay in SNAP benefits 
made for a brutal month. For the 360,000 Illinoisans who will be cut 
off of SNAP because of the big, ugly bill, they will be weighing these 
tradeoffs for years to come. Veterans, older Americans, and kids aging 
out of foster care will lose benefits.
  They deserve better. We must keep fighting for them.
