Speech #960280571

Mr. President. the issue addressed by this amendment is so clear cut that I really do not want to take up a lot of the Senates time in discussing it. If Senators will look at the Child Nutrition Act. they will perceive that it already provides special consideration for migrant workers who wish to participate in the WIC program. Let me quote from section 17(j) of that act: By October 1 of each year. the Secretary shall prepare a report describing plans to insure that. to the maximum extent feasible. eligible members of migrant populations continue to participate in the program as such persons move among States. The report shall bemade available to the National Advisory Council on Maternal. Infant and Fetal Nutrition.
