                      RESTORE LIFESAVING 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. Mr. Speaker, I rise today, for the 39th time, to call 
on the Trump administration to restore lifesaving food aid for children 
around the world.
  We are grieving today. We are grieving the lives lost on September 
11, 2001. We are grieving the lives of Charlie Kirk and others who have 
been victims of political violence and mass shootings.
  We don't always have the power in this Chamber to save every life, 
but we do have the power to save many lives, including the lives of 
children suffering from starvation, lives that are valuable and that 
deserve a chance.
  The Trump administration cut off this program in January, and they 
have been promising to restore it, going so far as to issue RFPs and to 
make promises that the program will be restored, but they have not yet 
done it.
  All it takes is for them to take the simple action of restoring the 
Food for Peace program so that kids like this can have a chance.
