A newly-expanded Food for Peace Program is feeding the hungry of many lands with the abundance of our productive farms--providing lunches for children in school, wages for economic development, relief for the victims of flood and famine, and a better diet for millions whose daily bread is their chief concern.
Kennedy describes the Food for Peace Program as a vital initiative to alleviate hunger and support economic development.

For together we face a common challenge: to enlarge the prosperity of free men everywhere--to build in partnership a new trading community in which all free nations may gain from the productive energy of free competitive effort.
A year ago, in assuming the tasks of the Presidency, I said that few generations, in all history, had been granted the role of being the great defender of freedom in its hour of maximum danger.
And while no nation has ever faced such a challenge, no nation has ever been so ready to seize the burden and the glory of freedom.
All of us together--this Administration, this Congress, this nation--must forge those answers.
