Mike Conaway: “Encouraging work is good for both recipients and taxpayers.”

I am all for that, but just to have an open-ended check I don't think is necessarily a good idea.

Given the effectiveness of the Food for Peace Program, I believe, and the support from stakeholders, it is clear and important that we maintain that bipartisan effort.

We urge Congress to continue to provide people the means to access healthy food.

I want American farmers participating in this, and American people support these programs in large part because they think it is American-grown products that are being used over there.
