But I want the dream to be of working and succeeding. not getting on welfare and food stamps. What my amendment simply says is that the one provision of this bill that is prospective whereby providing food stamps into the future for seven years would be stricken. However. the refugees and asylees who are already here on August 22. 1996. would be able to receive food stamps for seven years. Our colleagues are going to say that the world is coming to an end if we go back to conference and that somehow this bill will die. Everybody in the Senate and everybody in the House knows that ag research is not going to die.
