                      CHAPTER 13A--CHILD NUTRITION
 
Sec. 1771. Congressional declaration of purpose

    In recognition of the demonstrated relationship between food and 
good nutrition and the capacity of children to develop and learn, based 
on the years of cumulative successful experience under the national 
school lunch program with its significant contributions in the field of 
applied nutrition research, it is hereby declared to be the policy of 
Congress that these efforts shall be extended, expanded, and 
strengthened under the authority of the Secretary of Agriculture as a 
measure to safeguard the health and well-being of the Nation's children, 
and to encourage the domestic consumption of agricultural and other 
foods, by assisting States, through grants-in-aid and other means, to 
meet more effectively the nutritional needs of our children.
