mr. lewis: mr. speaker, i want to thank my friend, mr. hastings, for yielding. mr. speaker, i rise today because the american people have grown weary of war. war destroyed the dreams, the hopes, aspiration, and longing of a people. a wise man once said every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense a threat from those who hunger and the not fed. those who are cold and are not clothed, it's like spending money alone, it is spinning the threat of its labors, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of a children. these are not the words of dr. martin luther king jr., these are not the words of gandy -- gandhi. these are the words of a five star general, president dwight eisenhower. we have spent billions of dollars, thousands of our sons and daughters have been left on the battlefield and scarred by the brew tality of war. -- brutality of war. and glad the president is bringing 10,000 soldiers home from afghanistan, but we must do more to end this war and start investing in our future. we must continue, we cannot continu

appreciate that spending monday on conflict prevention -- money on conflict prevention, as my friend mr. lewis pointed out, is far more cheaper in the long run than spending money on conflict engagement. we cut social service programs here at home and around the world at our own peril. for when people lack food, lack resources, lack dignity and lack a future, lack hope, their nations will much more easily succumb to the kind of extremism, violence and instability that we are spending billions fighting. i have no war he will with providing the necessary funding to -- quarrel to provide the necessary funding for our service men and women to carry out their mission. our nation needs a lean and powerful and effective military and we owe a debt of gratitude as has been expressed and likely will be continuously throughout this appropriations process to the members of the military and their families, for the sacrifices they make and the devotion to duty they demonstrate. when they are set on difficult missions overseas, it's our duty to see that they have our full and complete support. but we also ha

scott mr. lewis: i want to thank ms. delauro and mr. farr for their work. i rise in opposition to the underlying bill. mr. chairman, nutrition programs did not run our economy into the ditch. nutrition programs did not drive us into debt or stopping the banks from extending cre credit. but my colleagues want to cut programs that feed million of women, infants and children. who is next? i ask you, who is next? the republican went after seniors in medicare. now they are going after the babies. who is next? mr. chairman, the w.i.c. program is a necessity. it is a lifeline. it is our obligation. this is not the way america treats our seniors. this is not the way america treats our mothers. this is not the way america treats our children. this is not the america we want to live in. if we repeal tax breaks for the wealthy for just one week, we could pay for this entire program. make no mistake, this bill will reduce the number of people served by nutrition programs. right now, almost 50% of the children born in our country rely on these programs every single day,

mrs. butler: lewis county, 13.2%, 12.5%. 11.8%. 12.9%. and 8%. one of the reasons and let me compare those numbers quickly. you know, one of the reasons that i'm not happy about 8%, i'm not happy about 13%, but there's a slight difference in the reason that the counties are slightly lower than other counties and that's where the state government is housed so there are more government jobs, more public sector jobs in that area. ms. herrera beutler: but the rest of the district and even in thirsten county is based on small businesses. those are the hearts and souls of our economy. small business owners, entrepreneurs, mom and pop shops. i got to tour a vacuum pump, an engineer that started a small little company, built it up, he's passing it onto his son, who he's now expanded into two accounts and he has a vision to grow and hire people. in fact, he has been able to stay afloat these last few years because a lot of the trade that he's done, he's done, he deals with other corporations and other companies across the world, which is one of the reason

this agust body will note, our colleague, the honorable john lewis of georgia, was among the foot soldiers of this historic march. i salute mrs sons, dwight and floyd, for fulfilling the destiny meant for them. you know, he and his sons filed a discrimination lawsuit that encouraged blacks to actually attend elementary schools in the deep south. breaking barriers in public education in birmingham and throughout the south. they filed a desegregation lawsuit in 1963. the armstrongs lived close to where civil rights activist, the reverend fred shulsworth's house was bomb and where the four little black girls were killed in the baptist church just five days after they integrated graymont elementary school. dwight and floyd needed a federal escort to school for two years and was guarded at the night by shotguns by members of the alabama christian movement for human rights. now, these selfless acts by james, floyd and dwight armstrong added significantly to the quality of life of all citizens in alabama and in birmingham. that is why i stand before you today to recognize mr. james armstrong, a proud american, a proud alabamian, fo
