Mr. President. I thank my colleague for yielding. Mr. President. one of the sections of this conference report is the joint resolution. a senseoftheCongress. which urges that U.S. surplus Governmentowned food commodities be made available to Guatemalan refugees living in camps in Mexico. Passage of this provision this week is timely while the international meeting on population growth takes place in Mexico City. There is a direct correlation between the world conference on population growth and the availability of food. I believe that the additional food is vital for many millions of people in various countries throughout the world. and the population increase both present and future makes the question of increasing the available food supplies one of the most urgent priorities facing us all.
