I am pleased that the Appropriations Committee has included $30 million for the emergency food and medical services programEFMSin the second supplemental appropriations bill. I wish particularly to commend the chairman of the LaborHEW Subcommittee. the Senior Senator from the State of Washington . for his leadership in the effort to provide adequate funds to keep this valuable program alive. funds vital to his own State of Washington as well as many other States. We cannot allow hundreds of projects which provide desperately needed services to pregnant women and infants. which serve oppressed minorities such as Indians and migrant workers. to be closed down. By acting to prevent these closings by making these funds available. the Senate is once again demonstrating its determination to win the war against hunger and malnutrition in the United States. The Senate has gone on record again and again over the past 2 years or so to indicate its strong support for EFMS and its desire to see the program effectively implemented.
