“I am afraid--I do not want us to miss a couple of more details about the nutritional programs before we get off that. But one of the things that will make this work is that the amount of increase is 4.5 percent a year for the next 5 years which gives the school lunch program more money to work with, but the administrative costs will come down. In fact we capped them at 2 percent. That is all of that money that they can spend for administrative costs, and what we really truly believe is that we are going to have more food for the children and their lunch programs, and that is what it is all about, that is what the whole purpose of the program is, not to pay bureaucrats. And I want to talk about WIC one more time because I have had a visit with a lot of people in my hometown who worked within the WIC programs, and they are absolutely excited about the possibility of them deciding a little bit how their program might work best, but, as my colleagues know, there were about 80 programs in this country for nutrition, and we have block granted them and brought them down, and the WIC program, the money that we have got for the family nutrition block grant, we have guaranteed that 80 percent of that goes to WIC. And I think the gentleman told me just today that WIC is not using all the money we are sending them now. Did I hear the gentleman say that?”
