                   EDESIA PRODUCT STILL IN WAREHOUSE

  (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 30th time to call on 
the Trump administration to restore lifesaving food aid for starving 
children.
  When children are starving, their organs shut down. At a certain 
point, they are not able to eat traditional food anymore. Ready-to-use 
therapeutic food is the only chance they have to survive and to get 
back to health.
  Right now in Rhode Island, there are 87,000 boxes of ready-to-use 
therapeutic foods, already bought and paid for, but sitting in a 
warehouse because the Trump administration has frozen this aid.
  It is time for the administration to honor the will of Congress, to 
honor its own commitment, and to do the right thing and get this food 
to the kids around the world who need it. I will keep speaking out 
every day until they do.
