I am a very strong supporter of the President's commitments to end child hunger in America by 2015--and to cut in half global hunger and poverty by 2015.

It is critical for the committee and the budget resolution that they ensure that the funds required to accomplish these mandates are clearly included.

I am a very strong supporter of President Obama's commitments to end child hunger in America by 2015 and to cut in half global poverty and hunger by 2015.

I want to commend Mr. Peters for his testimony. I want to associate myself with his remarks. We need to do more to support our manufacturing base in this country.

The Balanced Budget Constitutional amendment is a common sense approach to ensure that Congress is bound by the same fiscal principles that America's families face each day.

I further request that the funding levels for Function 600 Income Security has the necessary resources to eliminate child hunger in America.

For health care projects, for education projects, all very important to get our economy moving again.

I request that you and the members of this subcommittee when determining transportation priorities for Fiscal Year 2000 include support of this worthy project.
