                       FEED MY STARVING CHILDREN

  (Mr. PAULSEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PAULSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend a Minnesota service 
organization that has, for 25 years, fought against childhood 
malnutrition in every corner of the globe and in communities across our 
Nation.
  Since its inception, Feed My Starving Children has tirelessly worked 
to provide lifesaving meals for millions of children, shipping an 
astounding 600 million meals to individuals in nearly 70 countries 
around the world and here in the United States. The true effect of the 
work they do for severely malnourished children is immeasurable.
  Several times I have volunteered personally with my staff and packed 
meals which Save My Starving Children sends to malnourished children in 
places like Haiti and Sudan. But we're not alone, as nearly 670,000 
volunteers have joined Feed My Starving Children in fulfilling their 
vital mission.
  Feed My Starving Children's commitment to fighting childhood hunger 
for the past quarter century has been steadfast and has positively 
impacted the lives of millions in Minnesota and around the world. I 
would like to commend all of those involved in Feed My Starving 
Children for their hard work, and I look forward to another successful 
25 years.
