Summary
Directs the Secretary of Agriculture to use funds available for the direct distribution of food to needy children and low income persons for donation to maintain the traditional level of assistance for food assistance programs as are authorized by law, including but not limited to school lunch, institutions, supplemental feeding, disaster relief, and, until July 1, 1976, the family commodity distribution program on Indian reservations not requesting the food stamp program. Provides that the Secretary may, if stocks of the Commodity Credit Corporation are not available, use the funds of the Corporation to purchase agricultural commodities and the products thereof of the types customarily available under the program of commodity distribution to prevent waste. Provides, under the Food Stamp Act, that upon request to the Secretary by the appropriate officials of any Indian tribe, such tribe is authorized to administer a food stamp program under this Act on behalf of the eligible households of such tribe living on an Indian reservation. Authorizes the Secretary of the Interior or any State to administer a food stamp program on behalf of any tribe residing on an Indian reservation. Authorizes the Secretary under such Act to pay to each State agency an amount equal to 62.5 percent of all administrative costs, including, but not limited to, the cost of (1) the certification of households; (2) the acceptance, storage, and protection of coupons after their delivery to receiving points within the States; (3) the issuance of such coupons to eligible households; (4) the outreach and fair hearing requirements of this Act; and (5) the control and accounting of coupons. Authorizes the appropriation of necessary sums to encourage milk consumption in schools. Provides that, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1975, and for subsequent fiscal years, the minimum rate of reimbursement for a half-pint of milk served in schools and other eligible institutions shall not be less than 5 cents per half-pint served to eligible children, and such minimum rate of reimbursement shall be adjusted on an annual basis each fiscal year thereafter, beginning with the fiscal year ending June 30, 1976, to reflect changes in the series of food away from home of the Consumer Price Index.
