“I thank the gentleman. The concern here is that in a bipartisan fashion, we funded the farmers of this country who grow the food that feeds the people, that feeds the children through school lunch programs and school breakfast programs and infants and newborns, and feeds the elderly through Second Harvest and Meals-on-Wheels; but we cannot sell that food to countries like Sudan, Libya, North Korea, Iran, and Cuba. We voted to lift those sanctions to allow that food to flow to those countries. That is what the concern is here, that the rule was adopted last night which does not allow this. The promise was made that it would be in another committee report, but it was not there. It was not there last night when I checked. I am very concerned about this.”
