                         LIFESAVING FOREIGN AID

  (Mr. MAGAZINER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MAGAZINER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today for the 17th time to demand 
that the Trump administration deliver on its promise to restore funding 
for lifesaving food aid.
  This so-called pause on lifesaving food aid is unnecessary and 
unconscionable.
  ``Anybody who tells you that we can slash foreign aid and that will 
bring us to balance is lying to you.'' Foreign aid is less than 1 
percent of our budget. That is a quote from Marco Rubio before he 
worked for Donald Trump. This is not how we solve our budget problem. A 
fraction of a fraction of a percent of the Federal budget goes to 
lifesaving global food aid.
  The Trump administration has said they will restore it. They need to 
follow their own words and do so immediately before more lives are 
lost.
  I will keep speaking on this floor every day until they do.
