EXHIBIT E: EXHIBIT F: EXHIBIT G: Cutting $200 million from the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program, Trump would be taking away funds from vital familial health initiatives, such as efforts "reducing infant and maternal mortality and morbidity," should his proposed budget be passed in its current state (that likely won't happen, but whether WIC programs will remain on the table following congressional debate is yet to be seen). It would also cut initiatives that "[provide] food vouchers for low-income pregnant women, nursing mothers, and children under five years old," as well as preexisting programs offering venues for "breastfeeding support and nutrition education." READ FULL ARTICLE EXHIBIT H: EXHIBIT I: First on CNN: Generals come to State Department defense By Nicole Gaouette, CNN - March 21, 2017 A small army of retired three- and four-star generals launched a mission on Capitol Hill Tuesday: to defend the State Department against drastic budget cuts proposed by the Trump administration. President Donald Trump's budget would increase military spending by about $54 billion dollars, while cutting the State Department's budget by $11 billion, or 28.7%, in large part by slashing aid and development funds. Reducing the investment in diplomacy, aid and development will make the US ultimately less safe, argued retired four-star Gen. George Casey, the former commanding general in Iraq from 2004 to 2007. "It's important not to see this as just a nice thing to do," Casey told CNN during his visit to Capitol Hill. "It's an important tool of national security policy."
