Neuberger/OMB/EOP@EOP Subject: comments on FNS accomplishments Attached are my comments on the FNS accomplishments piece - nothing too major. I will point out that based on conversations I had with FNS while reviewing the NECP Reg Impact Analysis, it is my understanding that they have revised their estimate of the number of immigrants who benefited from the Ag Research restorations. The number they estimate as benefiting from the restoration is now 175,000, rather than the 225,000 cited in documents at the time of the bill's passage. The reason for the drop is that fewer immigrants are income eligible for food stamps due to the economy. FNS Accomplishments 1200
