Mr. Speaker, I thank Congresswoman Jayapal for her terrific leadership on the SNAP program and for defending the ability of all of our families to not send their kids to bed at night hungry. That is really what this is all about. People on…

Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Minnesota (Mr. Ellison) very much. He makes an excellent point which is, more than two-thirds of SNAP participants are in families with children, and in the majority of those, you have at least one…

Mr. Speaker, I thank Mrs. Coleman for her comments. She has made some very important points, and I wonder if I would pursue a couple with her before she goes, perhaps have a moment for colloquy. The first is the point she was making about…

Mr. Speaker, let me ask Mrs. Coleman one final question before she goes. She made a point before which I thought was profound, which is that millions and millions of people on the SNAP program are working, but they are not making enough…

Mr. Speaker, I thank Mrs. Coleman for her strong voice and for participating in tonight's Special Order hour. Mr. Speaker, I am delighted to yield to our distinguished colleague from Connecticut, Rosa DeLauro, who has been one of Congress'…

Mr. Speaker, Ms. DeLauro made some really striking points, and I wanted to explore them a little bit more. The tax bill, as we know, created a windfall bonanza of hundreds of billions of dollars for the wealthiest corporations and the…

Mr. Speaker, I would say to Ms. DeLauro that that came out of the Agriculture Committee, as I understand it, on a party line vote. Ms. DeLAURO. Mr. Speaker, he got that right.

Mr. Speaker, they are both from farm States. Ms. DeLAURO. Mr. Speaker, that is right. And they said there is a serious problem of hunger in the United States. They came back to Washington, and Democratic Members and Republican Members came…

Mr. Speaker, I want to follow up on something Ms. DeLauro said, which I think is very important. She pointed out that it was Senator Robert Dole, a Republican from Kansas; and Senator George McGovern, a Democrat from South Dakota, who came…

Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman from Connecticut (Ms. DeLauro) for her leadership, for her vision, and for her writing. It is incisive and useful for us all. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from North Carolina (Ms. Adams).

Mr. Speaker, three-quarters of SNAP benefits go to families: households with children in them. That should be what people think of when they think of the SNAP program. We heard a lot today in the Oversight and Government Reform Committee…

Mr. Speaker, in my district, I have urban, suburban, and rural. I have urban places like Rockville, Maryland; I have suburban places like Bethesda and Silver Spring; I have rural places in Frederick County like Middletown and Carroll…

Mr. Speaker, this used to be bipartisan. It used to be a bipartisan commitment, and now, suddenly, it fell apart with no participation from Democrats. It comes flying out with the idea of targeting the SNAP program. What is going on here…

Mr. Speaker, I thank Ms. Adams so much for her insightful remarks. Before Ms. Adams leaves, I would like to ask her a question. Working in Washington and coming here several days a week, as Members of Congress do, we are often treated to…

Mr. Speaker, we are not going to be able to eliminate laziness, but maybe we can take care of hunger in America so that kids don't go to sleep without food. Mr. Speaker, I want to thank Ms. Adams for her leadership and her strong voice on…

Mr. Speaker, I thank Ms. Adams for participating. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Jackson Lee), my distinguished colleague.

Mr. Speaker, I thank Ms. Jackson Lee for her really profound and important remarks tonight. Mr. Speaker, I would close out our session here by just making an observation about the importance of this SNAP question. It is important…

Were there any work requirements imposed on the big tax bill that gave hundreds of billions of dollars to wealthy investors?
