Abstract

In mid-1961, USDA initiated pilot Food Stamp Programs in 8 areas of the Nation as a step toward determining the effectiveness of such an approach in providing better nutrition for needy families and in paving the way for a substantial improvement in use of our food production capacity. The test was broadened on August 2, 1962, when authorization was granted for initiation of the Program in 25 additional areas throughout the United States. An additional 14 areas were offered the Program on October 26, 1962. The expanded Food Stamp Program will permit its evaluation under a wider variety of operating conditions than were found in the 8 original areas.
