Mike Conaway: “The United States must lead, not be led.”

I want American farmers participating in this, and American people support these programs in large part because they think it is American-grown products that are being used over there.

We need to make sure that people that are unemployed, people that are having a tough time, have enough food to take care of their kids.

I am grateful we have a new farm bill in place and a President who constantly stands up for the very Americans who provide our food and fiber.

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.
