  DOMESTIC FOOD ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS

  WIC program

       Domestic food assistance programs make up the bulk of

  Agriculture's budget. One of the fastest growing programs

  is the special supplemental food program for women, infants,

  and children, commonly called WIC. It cost about $370

  million in fiscal year 1978. Its authorized funding level

  rises to $950 million in 1982.
