On the recordOctober 8, 1998
Mr. Speaker, H.R. 3874 is the reauthorization act of 1998 and it is one of the most important bills we will enact. Its main purpose is to provide our Nation's children and participants in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) with vital nutritional assistance. Long before I came to the House, I was familiar with the School Lunch Program. As a former educator, I could see firsthand the importance of providing nutritious meals to children in order to ensure that they had the health and energy they needed to do well in school. I believe the legislation we are considering this morning will go a long way toward improving the operation of these programs, freeing them from fraud and abuse and ensuring that children are provided with nutritious meals.
