On top of that. most families can have $1.500 in cash or assets other than what I have mentioned already and still be eligible for food stamps. It is the language in the proposal that we have before us that will increase the threshold value of the automobile from $4.500 to $5.500 that I have a problem with. and I find it unnecessary to increase that value. The present policy regarding the car and the Food Stamp Program provides that the entire value of this automobile is exempt if the car is used for producing income consistent with its value or if it is necessary for longdistance travelfor example. migrants. because they need a car to get from one location or one farm to the other. Or if it is used for subsistence hunting or fishing in those areas where people hunt and fish for a living. or if it is needed by physically disabled people. I am not touching any of this.
