Given the effectiveness of the Food for Peace Program, I believe, and the support from stakeholders, it is clear and important that we maintain that bipartisan effort.
We urge Congress to continue to provide people the means to access healthy food.
Thank you for your leadership on behalf of America's farmers and ranchers, especially in such trying times.
It is critical and absolutely crucial that food assistance and agriculture development efforts focus on building resilience.
