Mike Conaway: “I claim time in opposition to the amendment. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Texas is recognized for 5 minutes.”

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.

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.

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.

We urge Congress to continue to provide people the means to access healthy food.
