        RESTORING LIFESAVING FOOD AID FOR MALNOURISHED CHILDREN

  (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 37th time to demand 
that the Trump administration restore lifesaving food aid for 
malnourished children.
  This is Plumpy'Nut. It is manufactured in my district to treat kids 
who are starving to death.
  Mr. Speaker, when children are starving, their organs stop working. 
They cannot digest regular food. This is their only chance at getting 
back to health.
  It took the Trump administration 10 days to put a stop to USAID's 
shipments of Plumpy'Nut to starving children around the world. Since 
then, they have promised over and over again that the program will 
restart.
  They have issued RFPs. They have said that they are going to start 
shipping again, but it has been 9 months. It took them 10 days to shut 
down this program and 9 months and counting to get it going again.
  Every day that they delay and drag their feet is a day that children 
are starving. Stop the excuses. Stop the delay. Restore this program. I 
will speak out on this floor every day until the program is restored.
