Executive Summary
SENATE HEARING ON FOOD STAMPS FOR SUPPLEMENTS remains a possibility in the current Congressional session. The Senate Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry Committee still has interest in a hearing focusing on legislation (S 1143) sponsored by Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) that would allow the use of food stamps to purchase vitamins and nutritional supplements.
