Capehart proposes surplus gifts to feed hungry abroad and at home
Senator Homer Capehart of Indiana urges creating a five member International Food Community Board to dispose of government surpluses by gift or sale to aid the hungry. He notes storage costs of a vast stockpile and argues gifts would not require new funds while stressing need to curb farm price declines. The plan aims to expand private charity distribution across 36 states and world aid programs.
