I believe that it is imperative that this legislation be passed quickly so that the necessary assistance reaches Africa in time to save lives. Emergency food aid is of unmistakable value to the people of Africa. but it only addresses the most visible part of the dilemma which confronts them. Assistance is needed to store and transport the supplies. medical care must be provided for refugees and other famine victims. and. above all. a longterm program of aid designed to improve agricultural practices and procedures must be implemented. If we do not take these steps. I fear the tragedy of Ethiopia and her sister countries will be repeated often in the future.
