On the recordFebruary 13, 1995
I am receiving a tremendous amount of mail both in the areas of school lunch and in the areas of senior citizen programs. We know the value of having it with young children and pregnant women in terms of those areas, so I would hope, as we debate that, we will have people on both sides of the aisle seeing the value of this deliberation and trying to salvage this program and protect the nutritional value of this program as well as the integrity of these programs, because the nutrition programs by and large have worked, and we ought to celebrate those things that have worked, correct those things that have not, and reform where we are improving the system. I want to commend the gentlewoman from Hawaii for her fine work and leadership.
