The gentleman from North Dakota . the gentleman from Nebraska . and myself have been working on this legislation. We are pleased that it is included in the foreign aid bill. Oftentimes when people in this country think of the Horn of Africa. the image that they get are the pictures that we will never forget in 1984. the images of the bloated bellies of children in Africa. of the parched soil of that land. of the overflowing refugee camps as people sought a blade of grass. a leaf. anything to feed their starving children. Those pictures. those images have gone away. but unfortunately the problem has not. As the gentleman from North Dakota pointed out. there are currently not thousands. not hundreds of thousands. but literally millions. perhaps 20 million people at risk of starvation in the Horn of Africa.
