of being awarded the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize; as follows:
Beginning in the second whereas clause of the preamble,
strike ``Whereas the WFP'' and all that follows through the

following:
Whereas the WFP is the largest international humanitarian
organization that addresses hunger, promotes food security,
and saves lives, including in response to many of the most
dangerous and complex crises in the world;
Whereas, in 2019, an estimated 135,000,000 people around
the world suffered from acute hunger and the WFP provided
nutrition assistance to nearly 100,000,000 people in 88
countries;
Whereas the 2020 coronavirus pandemic has contributed to a
significant increase in hunger around the world, and the WFP
has surged its capacity in order to meet that compounded
need;
Whereas the United States played an integral role in the
founding of the WFP, remains its strongest supporter, and
provides, as of the date of adoption of this resolution, more
than 40 percent of its annual resources;
In the seventh whereas clause of the preamble, strike
``Price'' and insert ``Prize''.
