                             END HUNGER NOW

  (Mr. McGOVERN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, in the decades-long fight to end hunger, 
last September's White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and 
Health was a major turning point.
  I thank the Biden-Harris administration for convening antihunger and 
nutrition stakeholders from across America to come up with an ambitious 
yet achievable plan to end hunger and reduce diet-related illnesses by 
2030. The national strategy put forward will serve as our guide.
  Now, it is time to put plans into action. I am thrilled that the 
Biden-Harris administration remains laser-focused on maintaining the 
momentum coming out of the conference.
  We have already achieved big wins, like permanently expanding summer 
food benefits for families with kids and signing into law the Food 
Donation Improvement Act, a bill I championed to make it easier for 
businesses to donate food.
  Our work is just beginning, and I urge every American to join us in 
creating a healthier, hunger-free future for all. I have more faith 
than ever that, working together, we can and will end hunger now.
