         As Congress Debates US Poverty, Relief Group Provides Services

   by Cindy Saine

   Fifty years after President Lyndon Johnson declared war on poverty in
   the United States, some 46 million Americans - about 15 percent of the
   population - are living in poverty. On Capitol Hill, Republican and
   Democratic lawmakers disagree about the effectiveness of government
   programs aimed at helping those in need. VOA's Cindy Saine visited a
   Washington relief organization called Bread for the City to ask staff
   members and clients what they think.
