By direction of the Committee on Rules, I call up House Resolution 351 and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 351 Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this resolution the…

Today we follow the pattern that we did yesterday in talking about the needs of this great Nation, not only men and women who are unemployed, but who also need the benefits of the food stamp program. And today, the Republican Party, as a…
