             Ranking Minority Member

             The Honorable E (Kika) de la Garza
             Chairman
             The Honorable E. Thomas Coleman
             Ranking Minority Member

             House of Representatives


             In response to Public Law 102-237 (sec. 908) and
             subsequent meetings with your offices, this correspondence
             provides information on two provisions of the Food,
             Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade Act of 1990 (P.L.
             101-624), Title XVII, (the Mickey Leland Memorial
             Domestic Hunger Relief Act), regarding the administration
             of the Food Stamp Program on Indian reservations.

             The first provision of the 1990 act (sec. 1723) exempts
             reservation households from the Food Stamp Program's
             monthly income reporting requirement. State agencies
             certify households to participate in the program
             continuously for up to a year, during which time they are
             eligible to receive food stamps. State agencies use
             monthly reports from households to update their
             eligibility status and to ensure that benefit issuances
             are correct. The exemption for reservation households was
             intended to overcome perceived problems encountered by
             these households in complying with the program's monthly
             income reporting requirement.

             The second provision of the 1990 act (sec. 1728) requires
             state agencies to stagger the issuance of food stamp
             benefits throughout the month for recipients residing on
