Executive Summary
VITAMINS AND MINERALS WITH RDAs WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR FOOD STAMP PURCHASE under a provision in HR 1997 -- a bill aimed at giving the states greater flexibility in administering the food stamp program. HR 1997 cleared Rep. Bill Emerson's (R-Mo.) House Agriculture/department operations and foreign agriculture subcommittee on July 11 and is expected to proceed to full committee markup sometime after the August recess. The vitamin provision in the food stamp bill was originally introduced by Emerson as HR 236 ("The Tan Sheet" Jan. 16, In Brief).
