Mr. BOOZMAN. Mr. President, I rise in opposition to amendment No. 4798. I appreciate the concerns of my colleague from New Mexico regarding grocery costs and recent changes to the SNAP program. Working Families Tax Cut took a practical approach to reduce SNAP by reducing waste, enhancing accountability, and encouraging recipients to move toward self-reliance through work and training.

This amendment is not germane to the budget resolution in violation of the Congressional Budget Act.

I, therefore, raise a point of order against the amendment under section 305(b)(2) of the Congressional Budget Act.

Mr. BOOZMAN. Mr. President, I rise in opposition to amendment No. 4884. I appreciate my colleague, and I share her support for school meals programs. This issue is within the jurisdiction of the Senate Agriculture Committee, of which I am chair. I am eager for the Agriculture Committee to turn to the child nutrition reauthorization. It is prudent that we work together to examine and strengthen our school meals programs so they are targeted to those most in genuine need.

This amendment is not germane to the budget resolution in violation of the Congressional Budget Act. Under the provisions of section 305(b)(2) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, I raise a point of order that the amendment offered is not germane.
