A voluminous body of literature exists on the topic of food stamps including the administration of the federal and state programs and the question of abuses and fraud. This bibliography describes a portion of that material in print. An introduction provides general information and a chronology of the food stamp program and comments on the place of nutrition in social welfare. Topics in this classified, annotated bibliography include: hisotry of the food stamp program from the late 1930's to 1961; background information on potential recipients; nutrition and food information; continuing Nixon's reforms up to the present; the delivery of the service; advocacy for the poor in need of food stamps; debate on the issue of abuse; citations of related interest; and sourcebooks and ongoing sources of information. An author index is also provided. (Author/GC)
