Eliot Engel actually said...

"I commend the President, I commend the administration for its food aid reform proposal."

"We can save hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars by purchasing food aid closer to the destination countries."

"Since 1954, the Food for Peace Program has fed more than 1 billion people around the world and saved countless lives."

"But the right thing to do is to enact sensible reforms that save taxpayer money and, most importantly, save lives."
