It is somewhat disappointing that we have not been able to name the coordinator for Feed the Future.

Senator Lugar and I have joined together on a transparency initiative to make sure that the wealth of a country goes to its people and does not to feed corruption.

Last Thursday, most Americans sat down at our dinner tables with our families and enjoyed a great Thanksgiving meal, but that night, 870 million people around the world went to bed hungry and undernourished.

Thank you very much for your testimony and for your service.

We strongly support the initiative, but we want to make sure the moneys are being used most appropriately.

I think there is great interest here on the coordination issues.

it is a major part of our international development assistance, and it is a major concern of the U.S. Senate.

I think that there is a strong possibility that the food will be exported and that the vulnerable will be kept out of that altogether.

What is important is to focus on where we can make more progress, the challenges that we have.

this will not be the last of our interest in overseeing how this program is working.

Thank you for your testimony.

We fully understand the more that we can get prosperity in a country, the better chance we have of good governance.

If we cannot effectively get aid, we have to be prepared to leave rather than to help finance a corrupt regime.

We are determined to make significant progress toward ending hunger and undernutrition in our lifetimes.

The No. 1 issue in dealing with the long-term sustainability is to deal with farmers, women, and the treatment of the developing world on land reform.

We anticipate that hot areas are going to get hotter, that wet areas are going to get wetter, that it is going to hurt those countries that are most vulnerable right now to chronic hunger.

I would like to thank Chairman Cardin and Ranking Member Corker for calling this important hearing on U.S. Global Food Security Efforts.
