To deny. the. steelworkers this same right in their forthcoming hour of need is to obviously discriminate without sound justification. In response to those who question who will "foot the bill" for food stamps to strikers. the answer is obviousthe striker himself since he has paid. is paying and will continue to pay for the billions of dollars that Congress has voted to provide food for the hungry of this Nation and the world. The Cuban refugee. our native Indians. the ghetto poor. the Appalachian victims. and the hungry generally. have under the American system been provided for because the striker pays the bill through taxes at all levels. In response to the proposition that the Federal Government should not play favorite and help a striker and his family. the response is obviousit is too late to hide behind this argument since the Federal Government is committed to continue to attack poverty and malnutrition wherever it is found and regardless of its source. The Federal Government has involved itself in socalled privileged sanctuaries and participated with Federal funds in many areas of need too numerous to mention.
