I share the distinguished chairman of the Agriculture Committee's enthusiasm for the WIC Program. I would point out that the budget resolution as reported by the Budget Committee included $3.6 billion for this program, an 11 percent…

I have just a couple of comments. Again, with regard to the whole question here of forming a commission to recommend savings to Congress, one of the problems we have in Government now is that we have too many commissions. The cost of these…

the Senator from Texas, in the amendment that he offered here this afternoon, beginning at about 2:30 in the afternoon, seeks to eliminate every one of the President's initiatives, every single one of them, and he adds an $87 billion cut…
