I was joined by my colleagues. Representatives PANETTA. MORRISON of Connecticut. HAWKINS. BURTON of California. KILDEE. TRAXLER. GEJDENSON. WEISS. FAzbO. and YOUNG of Alaska. In introducing the Comprehensive Nutrition Assistance Act of 1985. We are submitting this legislation because of our belief that we cannot sit idle while the nutritional status of our citizensour children. migrant farmworker families. native Americans and elderlyare allowed to run a course of steady decline. The bill we submit today is not a dream bill promoting overnight overhaul of our domestic food assistance programs. Rather. we are presenting legislation which we feel proposes realistic improvements In these programs.
