S. 1150 has still won support from nutrition advocates. This legislation enjoys broad support because it reprioritizes spending in the food stamp program to provide needed benefits for those who cannot move to selfsufficiency as envisioned by the recent welfare reform. such as the elderly. disabled. and children. And for those refugees and asylees who are fleeing political and religious persecution. it provides a realistic time frame to make application for United States citizenship. In addition. this bill fulfills a commitment made by our government during the Vietnam war to some unfamiliar people. the Hmongs and the Highland Laotians who assisted our military during the Vietnam era. As a result of providing assistance to our military. these people suffered terribly at the hands of Communists.
