Jim McGovern actually said...

"For the first time in history, the President of the United States is openly calling for the elimination of Food for Peace and McGovern-Dole."

"We seek to work with this Committee to ensure expeditious and effective implementation of the additional funding, especially the resources directly appropriated to Food for Peace."

"It is heartless. It is reckless. It is self-defeating, and it is stupid."

"We owe them a debt of gratitude for their service, not the casual slander we often see in food aid reform debates."
