RESTORE FOOD AID FUNDING
(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 31st time to call on
the Trump administration to restore lifesaving food aid for
malnourished children.
Over the weekend, I had a chance to visit the Edesia Nutrition
factory in North Kingstown, Rhode Island, one of two factories in the
United States that manufactures this ready-to-use therapeutic food.
This is used to treat starving children whose organs have failed and
are no longer able to process traditional food to get them back to
health.
For years, the United States saved millions of lives with this
product, sourced entirely from U.S. farmers and factories, until the
Trump administration froze funding.
The time has come for that funding to be restored, as the
administration promised they would do, but have not delivered on.
For the 31st time, my message is simple: If you say you will do it,
do it. I will keep speaking out every day until the administration
honors its word.
Restore the funding.
