I have spoken with several school nutrition administrators all across the first congressional district of Kentucky that tell me they have a challenging time wading through the regulations to try to come up with meals that kids like that…

I think it is important to hear how the Administration is implementing these programs.

USDA must do all it can to make the administration of these school meal programs as easy as possible.

In order to help streamline this process, can FNS direct States to start with the retailers existing SNAP licenses and only ask for additional information beyond what a retailer has already provided on their SNAP licenses?

If we want kids to benefit from the child nutrition programs, the meals have to be something they will eat.

Unfortunately in this environment many of our rural communities are having less food retailers now, grocery retailers, and we are living in an environment where we have more food deserts.

I am glad to see that Secretary Perdue is trying to help remedy that.

I believe wholeheartedly that no kid should go hungry.

I look forward to learning more about the Department's efforts to address these pressing needs, and I am eager to work with my colleagues to defeat childhood hunger.

I am hopeful the switch to electronic benefits will help and I again look forward to working with the USDA to see how we can best help States to support some of our most vulnerable constituents.

It is alarming to read a report that says almost 30 percent of the milk served was discarded.

Students cannot learn if they are hungry.

I again look forward to working with USDA to see how we can best help States to support some of our most vulnerable constituents.

Overall, though, I just want to reiterate the great role that Gilead has played in innovations in antivirals.

From what I understand, the bulk of the Trump administration's plan to eradicate HIV is the ability to locate every American susceptible to HIV.

Your knowledge and experience and testimony today will help us better serve older Americans as we move forward.

And I agree with that, Madam Chair. I have done that as well.

of all the government programs that I am aware of, and there are many, in my opinion in my district there is nothing more popular that Meals on Wheels.

Today's life expectancy in our Nation is at a historic high, which is great news and it means we need to be doing all we can to ensure that Americans have access to quality, timely services which allow them to live in their homes as long…

I agree with that, Madam Chair. I have done that as well.

Today I rise to remember the life of my friend Mr. Jay Price of Casey County in the First Congressional District of Kentucky. After graduating from Western Kentucky University as an ag major, Jay returned home to manage his family's beef…

Thank you, Madam Chair, and Director Carroll, and Sheriff Ivey. I just want to thank you for doing everything you can to try to save lives, and I believe that you all are trying to save lives.

It would be very difficult, both in Minnesota and throughout the West. Land tenure, mineral tenure will be lost. It will be devastating, and I am not a 'sky is falling' type person.

if we are serious about stopping the flow of illegal drugs into the United States, we are going to have to get serious in this Congress about securing the border.

It would have a major devastating effect on the ability to acquire new sources of iron ore in the Rocky Mountain West.
