SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. This Act may be cited as the "Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance Act of 1954". SEC. 2.3 UNITED STATES POLICY. It is the policy of the United States to use its abundant agricultural productivity to promote the foreign policy of the United States by enhancing the food security of the developing world through the use of agricultural commodities and local currencies accruing under this Act to (1) combat world hunger and malnutrition and their causes; (2) promote broad-based, equitable, and sustainable development, including agricultural development; (3) expand international trade; (4) develop and expand export markets for United States agricultural commodities; and (5) foster and encourage the development of private enterprise and democratic participation in developing countries. SEC. 3. GLOBAL FOOD AID NEEDS. In view of the principal findings of the National Research Council of the National Academy of Sciences that doubling food aid above 1990 levels of about 10,000,000 metric tons per year would be necessary to meet projected global food needs throughout the decade of the nineties, it is the sense of Congress that the President should (1) increase the contributions of food aid by the United States, and encourage other donor countries to increase their contributions toward meeting new food aid requirements; and (2) encourage other advanced nations to make increased food aid contributions to combat world hunger and malnutrition, particularly through the expansion of international food and agricultural assistance programs. 37 U.S.C. 1691. 47 U.S.C. 1691a. |
