The following major issues were discussed: (1) the number of poor and low-income families requiring food assistance is rapidly increasing; (2) more federal programs are required to meet their needs; (3) federal support for existing programs needs to be increased; and (4) present programs need to be reformed to remove barriers to service. Specific USDA programs discussed include the following: (1) the Food Stamp Program; (2) the Temporary Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP); (3) the Women Infants Children Supplemental Food Program (WIC); and (4) the National School Lunch Program.
