I understand there is a bill to UNDO the "mandatory spending" of a percentage of
the WIC funds for  the promotion and support of breastfeeding.  [ie. Curently
some of the $$ appropriated to a local WIC Program must be used on breastfeeding
related items -staff, literature, etc.; this bill would make that optional,
meaning that money may be spent on who-knows-what!]  Apparently Senator Goodling
is involved - unsure if he is for this bill or against.  Have others heard
anything about this? The vote may have been scheduled for Wednesday 6/12/96.
Please everyone contact your representatives and encourage them to support
breastfeeding promotion in the WIC program (especially people who are upset that
taxes continue to pay for ABM.)  Remember "Breastfeeding --A Community
Responsibility."    Let's prevent a step backwards....
