Congressional Record entries

Entry Title Date
Hunger And The Ryan Budget April 17, 2012
Xavier Becerra, D-CA
"I thank the gentlelady from Connecticut, my good friend Rosa DeLauro, for not just this evening, but for the years of work that she has done in committee, for her district, and simply in Congress as being one of the champions of not just children and families who are in need, but the fight to make sure that all these families have an opportunity to have access to real nutrition, not just food, but real nutrition. Because there were days when ketchup was called a vegetable. And some people made the fight to make sure that nutrition really meant good food, so that if we were going to help Americans--as we want to, as good Americans, help our fellow Americans--then let's be sure we're doing it so that they end up healthy Americans as well."
