On the recordJune 19, 2012
I rise in support of this amendment offered by my colleague, Senator Murray, and others, to include in the school lunch program a pilot program dealing with dry beans, peas, lentils, and chickpeas. My amendment works to improve the nutritional value of school meals across America at a very economical price. With the level of obesity of children between 2 and 19, it is very important we have this program included. I yield 30 seconds to my colleague from North Dakota. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from North Dakota.
