On the recordMay 4, 1999
Mr. Speaker, I will say where the beef is. The beef is where we put it the last 3 years while we were in the majority. $800 million one year, $600 million the next year, another $500 million the next year for a total of almost $2 billion over 3 years, not where it was for 20 years prior to that when I sat in the minority where we got zero, zero, zero and the majority was overwhelming at that particular time. So we are putting the beef there. We know where the beef is, and we are getting it there, and we are getting it out to the children who can eat that beef.
