since 1954, the food for peace program has fed more than a billion people around the world. it embodies the compassion and generosity of the american people and however the world has changed in the 59 years since food for peace was enacted and our food aid should reflect the new realities. the current problem is it takes too long to deliver. food grown in the u.s., which makes up the vast majority of our assistance takes an average of 130 days to deliver. by purchasing food closer to the recipient countries, we can cut the delivery time in half and get food to starving people before it's too late. food aid is too expensive. shipping and transportation costs account for half the food aid budget. we can save hundreds of millions of dollars which can be used to feed needy people. by passing our amendment we can reach more people without spending an extra dime. the easy thing is to do nothing, but the right thing to do to enact sensible reforms that save taxpayer money and most importantly save lives. i urge my colleagues to support this bipartisan commonsense amendment and i res

[laughter] there is a real fault here. it is in good part that congress thought. -- the congress's fault. it is in good part the fault of the people. they tolerate this. they sent us down he

in place a strong and stable crop insurance program, so farmers always at the mercy of mother nature can continue to provide the food our nation and our world depend on. the bill also contains an amendment that i sponsored that would help aid improvements to river transportation infrastructure, flood prevention and drought relief, including the aging locks and dams system along the mississippi and illinois rivers. the family farmers i talk with back home in illinois want the security and the stability of a five-year farm bill. that is how they can plan for future growth and investment and continue to provide the world with a stable food supply. let's give them the certainty by passing a five-year farm bill. thank you, madam speaker. the chair: the gentleman from minnesota reserves and the gentleman from oklahoma is recognized. >> i yield to the gentleman for wo minutes for a colloquy. >> as you know, the farmers many my district grow the majority of apples and pears in our country. we want to ensure we have the safest food supply in the world. however, mr. chairman, i have serious concerns with the one size fits all regulations that the foo

program. current policy keeps sugar prices higher than the world market price, and that encourages food manufacturings to move offshore. as a result, between 1997 and 2011, 127,000 jobs were lost in segments of the food and beverage industries that use sugar to make their products. i reject, madam chairwoman of ving $239 million from sugar to ethanol mandate. the chair: the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman from minnesota is recognized. mr. peterson: madam chair, i'd be pleased to recognize the gentleman from new york, a good friend of the american familiarer and agriculture, mr. engel for one minute. the chair: mr. engel is recognized for one minute. mr. engel: i thank my friend for yielding to me. madam chair, i rise in opposition to the pitts amendment. the proponents of the amendment claim that sugar prices are too high, but u.s. raw sugar prices have dropped more than half just since the fall of 2011. in 2004, more than 200 people lost their jobs when the domino sugar plant in brooklyn, new york, closed. it outlasted the brooklyn dodgers and they're gone and so are the paychecks that t

world looked like when congress did things. john dingell wrote the endangered species act, clean air act, affordable care act, children's insurance program, food safety modernization act, it goes on and on. it is an unbelievable record when you look at legislation attached to somebody's name. i worked in the senate and knew quite a number of senators in that chamber. when you look across history, this is like ted kennedy. do you think it is possible in today's political climate to have the kind of successful passage of legislation? are we deluding ourselves? >> no. each congress is unique. it depends on the challenges and the concerns of the people are. the congress has a leadership responsibility. this is perhaps the most -- it is a privilege to serve even in this congress. having said these things, we have had difficulty coming to an we couldt on budget. ts up for 10 commanmends a vote -- [laughter] there is a real fault here. it is in good part that congress thought. they tolerate this. they sent us down here to fight. it is divided. you see the result in washington. you see it on the hill. you see a tremendous amount of ill will that shoul

world. catholic leaders last month wrote, quote, congress should support access to adequate nutrition and food for those in need and oppose attempts to weaken or restructure these programs that would result in reduced benefits to hungry people. the groups that are -- that we received a letter today with -- asking us, and asking representatives, there are -- there must be 80 or 90 organizations probably over 00 organizations who are saying don't do this, including the bulk of the medical profession. we've got red for this -- bread for the world, jewish council for public affairs, american academy of pediatrics, american public health association, share our strength, and the list gos on. harry truman said, quote, nothing is more important in our national life than the welfare of our children and proper nourishment comes forth in attaining this welfare. i will close with the piece that was put out today by the center for budget and policy priorities. research shows that, and i quote, that the food stamp program is the most effective program pushing against the steep rise in extreme poverty. one reason the snap program is so effective in fighting extreme poverty is that it

program keeps our markets higher regardless of demand and our supply. compared to world prices for sugar. the u.s. manufacturers who are use sugar as an ingredient to produce processed food and drinks are having to always pay more domestically than manufacturers overseas. this is the exact reason why candy companies are moving to countries like canada, mexico, and other offshore places. we need a industry that is subject to capital market forces without government intrusion that places quotas on the amount of sugar that can be grown in the united states and restricts access to foreign grown sugar. the current sugar program in fits 4,714 sugar farmers the united states. while threatening the jobs of 600,000 workers in sugar using industries and thus imposing a hidden tax on every american consumer. the pitts-davis-goodlatte-blumenauer amendment would lower the price of the loan rate in accordance to historic levels and reduce taxpayers' liability to keeping prices high, save taxpayers money, allow more sugar imports, and provide for u.s. department of agriculture more flexibility to modify domestic markets and allotments. making changes to the sugar program would help lev

world. i also know that our farmers are some of our hardest-working people. having said all that, there's a ton of programs in here that don't directly benefit food security in this country or the american public. and when we still have the well-heeled and well-connected taking advantage of programs, pro prfrom pro athletes and eveg else, by -- i'm all for crop insurance. i think taught to be a little more costly and spread out. i think crop insurance in terms of the commissions paid to the people that sell it are a little too rich. i think -- and there are a lot of other people that would like to have that book of business with a whole lot money. so it will be a balance for me as i look at the improvements. i would congratulate you and the ranking member of making progress in the farm bill. i think we've got a long ways to go. this amendment relates to one of those, which is how do we make sure that if we're going to take taxpayer money and help people with their needs under the supplemental nutrition assistance program, how do we make sure we're doing it in a way that actually gives them nutritious food? as a i physician that's cared fr obesity and heart d
