Subject: PL 480 and McGovern Dole in the conference report

PL 480 Title II at $1,466,000,000.

McGovern Dole at $184,000,000

SEC. 7 41. Funds made available by this Act under title II of the Food for Peace Act (7 U.S.C. 1721 et seq. ) may only be used to provide assistance to recipient nations if adequate monitoring and controls, as determined by the Administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development, are in place to ensure that emergency food aid is received by the intended beneficiaries in areas affected by food shortages and not diverted for unauthorized or inappropriate purposes.

Statement of Managers:

   While the conferees believe that USDA, and its partner USAID, must first focus on addressing immediate emergency needs in places such as the Horn of Africa, the Department must begin to develop plans and corresponding goals aimed at building market-driven institutions and science-based regulatory frameworks that facilitate trade and create an environment conducive to agricultural growth.  Therefore the conferees direct FAS to submit a report within 60 days of enactment of this Act with options for shifting more focus in outyear budgets from long-term or extended emergency food aid programs to programs that support FAS' duties to help developing countries improve their agricultural systems and build trade capacity in order to improve their long-term economic development.
