              INCINERATING 500 TONS OF EMERGENCY FOOD AID

  (Mr. MAGAZINER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MAGAZINER. Madam Speaker, I rise for the 32nd time to call on the 
Trump administration to restore lifesaving food aid for malnourished 
children.
  Last week, it was reported that the Trump administration is 
incinerating 500 tons of emergency food aid because it expired while 
sitting in a warehouse. This is food that had already been paid for, 
had already been produced, and was just waiting to be shipped to 
starving people who needed it to survive. Instead, it is being 
incinerated.
  In my district in Rhode Island, 87,000 boxes of lifesaving nutrition 
are sitting in Edesia Nutrition's warehouse. It is already paid for, 
already produced, and waiting to be shipped. This is food aid that is 
designed to treat starving children whose organs have shut down to the 
point where they cannot process normal food.
  Madam Speaker, what are we doing here? This is food that is already 
paid for, already produced, and sitting in warehouses while kids 
starve.
  I am going to stand on this floor every day until the administration 
honors its word and restores lifesaving food aid.
