This good news not only should receive the support of the Congress and the American people. but it should also be welcomed by the other food exporting nations which have joined the international efforts to rescue millions of people on the brink of starvation. There is little doubt that Americas food commitment abroad can have an important impact upon the peace and progress of developing nations today in food shortage areas. That is why the Subcommittee on Refugees and the Subcommittee on Health. both of which I serve as chairman. have repeatedly expressed their deep concern regarding the priorities and allocations in the food for peace program. Since the passage of Public Law 480 more than 20 years ago. Congress has repeatedly stressed the importance of humanitarian purposes in the priorities and allocations of food for peace.
