On the recordMay 5, 1999
I rise in support of one of our Nation's most valuable programs, Women, Infants and Children, more popularly known as WIC. The WIC program has been serving women and children across America for 25 years. The valuable service provided by WIC includes nutritional counseling, the supply of supplemental nutritional foods to children and an excellent health referral system. WIC continues to be effective in improving the health of pregnant women, new mothers and infants. Studies show that WIC participants are more likely to have full term pregnancy, lower medical costs, higher birth weight babies and lower infant mortality rates. On this anniversary of 25 years, I salute WIC for providing such outstanding service. We must all remember a healthy start is a great start.

for every billion dollars that we spend on infrastructure, it generates 49,000 jobs. If we want to stimulate the economy, then we should invest in the building up of our infrastructure and tie it to homeland security.
