J O I N T RESOLUTION 
November 5, 1971 
To assure that every iieeily schoolchild will receive a free or reduced price lunch 
[H. J. Res. 923] 
as required by section 9 of the National School Lunch Act. 
AVhereas it appears that under the proposed apportionment of funds 
aA-ailable for special assistance under section 11 of the National 
School Lunch Act for the fiscal year ending June 30,1972 (including 
funds appropriated by section 32 of the Act of August 24, 1935, 
and made available for that purpose), only six States will receive 
more than 30 cents in such assistance per free or reduced price lunch; 
and 
Whereas it appears that this amount per lunch is not adequate to 
enable States and schools to continue to participate in the school 
Ivmch program and to achieve the objectives of the National School 
Lunch Act, particularly that of providing a free or reduced price 
lunch to every needy child: Therefore be it 
Reaolred hy the Senate and House of Representatives 
of the United 
States of America hi Congress assembled^ That, notwithstanding any 
^°°'^ service 
other provision of law, the Secretary of Agriculture shall until such drenr""^ 
time as a supplemental appropriation may provide additional funds 
for such purpose use so much of the funds appropriated by section 32 
of the Act of August 24, 1935 (7 LLS.C. 612c), as may be necessary, 
^9 stat. 774. 
in addition to the funds now available therefor, to carry out the 
purposes of section 11 of the National School Lunch Act and provide 
84 stat. 211. 
a rate of reimbursement which will assure every needy child of free 
'•^ u c 1759a. 
or reduced price lunches during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1972, 
and to carry out the purposes of section 4 of the National School 
Lunch Act and provide an average rate of reimbursement of 6 cents

per meal within each State. In determining the amount of funds 
needed and the requirements of the various States therefor, the Secre-
tary shall consult with the National Advisory Council on Child Nutri-
tion and interested parties. Funds expended under the foregoing-
provisions of this resolution shall be reimbursed out of any supj)le-
mental appropriation hereafter enacted for the purpose of carrying 
out section 4 and section 111 of the National School Lunch Act, and such 
reimbursements shall be deposited into the fund established pursuant 
to section 32 of the Act of August 24, 1935, to be available for the
