I believe that Government has a responsibility to feed the hungry and if you share my belief. I am asking for your support of H.R. 1856. the Comprehensive Nutrition Act of 1985. This legislation includes: (1) increased funaing for school lunch and child nutrition programs. (2) expansion of Head Start and the child care food programs to serve Head Start children. (3) reauthorization of the Commodity Supplemental Food Program for the Elderly. (4) Fundsfor temporary emergency food assistance for migrants and native Americans and (5) increases In the food stamp program. While we know that our Government spends millions of dollars on food stamps. that aid has not kept up with the need that has been created in an economy where businesses are closing down. unemployment remains too high and our budget deficit is reaching unmanageable proportions. The private sector has tried to meet the need.
