“I would like to again address that today. Last week, my colleagues, we discussed the question of cuts in the School Lunch Program. Today we find that my Republican colleagues propose to zero out the Drug-Free Schools Program and also the Safe Schools Program. This tends to show me that my Republican colleagues know the cost of everything and the value of nothing, because the greatest trust and the greatest treasure that this Nation has is our young people. To have them in schools which are free of drugs, which are safe, and to see to it that those who have no recourse to adequate nutrition and food supplies at home, to see that they have an adequate school lunch is indeed one of the ways that we not only nurture our greatest treasure, but we look to the future of this country.”
