      "summary": "The Food Stamp Program has undergone a number of major changes since its modern version was established in 1961. It is now one of the largest \"welfare\" programs and provides an income supplement to the food-purchasing power of more than 18 million persons each month, at a cost of nearly $7 billion annually. This report traces the history of the program from 1961 through 1979,\r\nwith an emphasis on how program rules, philosophy, participation, and costs have changed over the years.",
