McGovern urges unilateral 10 percent arms cut to feed world
Senator George McGovern told the Southern Baptist Convention that the United States should lead a 10 percent cut in military spending to relieve world hunger. He proposed reallocating funds to food aid and rural development, with international agreement including OPEC profits commitments, and emphasized delivering aid to starving people rather than regimes. He also suggested repurposing oil tankers for food transport and using private humanitarian groups to ensure aid reaches the needy. He predicted Congress would trim Ford's military request by 5 to 6 billion dollars and spoke about not seeking another presidential bid.
