Amendment No. 3 contains a total of $850 million for P.L. 480 Food for Peace Programs. which will be made available as soon as this bill is signed into law. In Sudan. Chad. Kenya. Somalia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. thousands of people die each day. not from conflict. but mostly from malnourishment and lack of health care and shelter. Amendment No. 3 includes $200 million for urgent humanitarian disaster assistance. and $300 million for assistance for refugees and internally displaced persons. These funds are desperately needed. and I strongly urge my colleagues to vote for amendment No. 3.
