Summary

Creates the President’s Emergency Food Assistance Fund and lets the President use it when he decides it is in the national interest to help people in other countries who face sudden food shortages. The aid can be sent through foreign governments, private groups, or international organizations. It can include food or things related to food relief like seed, animal feed, animal vaccines, and transportation and distribution services. Congress authorized $50,000,000 for the President for fiscal year 1985 and $50,000,000 for fiscal year 1986 for this Fund, with the money remaining available until increased. The President can make loans, advances, grants, contracts, or agreements with individuals, companies, governments, or organizations to carry out the program.
