               SUBCHAPTER III-B--EMERGENCY FOOD ASSISTANCE
 
Sec. 1728. Findings regarding emergency food assistance

    The Congress finds that--
        (1) acute food crises continue to cause loss of life, severe 
    malnutrition, and general human suffering in many areas of the Third 
    World, especially in sub-Saharan Africa;
        (2) the United States continues to respond to these needs, as a 
    reflection of its humanitarian concern for the people of the Third 
    World, with emergency food and other necessary assistance to 
    alleviate the suffering of those affected by severe food shortages;
        (3) the timely provision of food and other necessary assistance 
    to those in need is of paramount importance if the worst effects of 
    such food crises are to be mitigated; and
        (4) the ability of the United States to provide food and other 
    necessary assistance on a timely basis, and to ensure that such 
    assistance is distributed to those in need, should be enhanced in 
    order to better enable the United States to help those affected by 
    severe food shortages.
