We must and will take whatever measures we can to see that the hungry are fed. As the great moral philosopher Reinhold Niebur said: Mans capacity for Justice makes democracy possible. but mans inclination to injustice makes democracy necessary. The role of the U.S. Congress in this battle is clearly defined. Through the passage of legislation like the Refugee and Migration Assistance Act of 1979. we will mobilize the resources of our democracy to feed the hungry. Through the colloquium on Human Rights Day and the speeches on the starvation in Southeast Asia which will precede it. we will remind the world of the shelter democracy affords to all.
