                RESTORE LIFESAVING FOOD AID FOR 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 38th time, to call 
on the Trump administration to restore lifesaving food aid for starving 
children around the world.
  It has been 8 months since the Trump administration put a stop-work 
order in place. As a result, there are thousands of boxes of lifesaving 
aid meant to save the lives of starving children sitting in warehouses 
in Rhode Island and Georgia instead of getting to the kids who need 
them.
  Mr. Speaker, this week, we are voting on the annual Defense bill. I 
just want to point out that this is a national security issue because 
when starvation and famine are permitted to progress unimpeded around 
the world, it yields terrorism, increased violence, and extremism that 
is a risk to our own Nation's defense.
  When we step back, our adversaries, like China, step in to save the 
day in the developing world. That is bad for the United States and for 
democracies all across the globe.
  Mr. Speaker, I call on the Trump administration, once again: Restore 
lifesaving food aid for children.
