Answer to Question 1

As a result of testimony from the surgeon general that 70 percent of the boys who had poor nutrition 10 to 12 years ago were rejected by the draft, legislation was introduced to give the school lunch program permanent status.

Answer to Question 2

Factors that can trigger program planning include the following:
 Results of the community needs assessment.
 Mandate from an organization's national office or from a federal agency.
 Research findings.
 Community leader or coalition.
 Availability of funding for new programs.
 Government policy.
One or more of these might prompt the planning. For example, recent research findings and results of a community needs assessment might indicate the same need, and thus funding might become available for programs to alleviate that need.
