  SA 2734. Mr. BOOZMAN proposed an amendment to the resolution S. Res. 
774, honoring the United Nations World Food Programme on the occasion 
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 
     semicolon in the fifth whereas clause and insert 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''.
