Expressing the sense of the Congress with regard to supporting increased donations of commodities for international hunger alleviation purposes through purchases of agricultural commodities from the United States and developing countries financed by the Government of Japan.

Summary

Expresses the sense of the Congress that: (1) the President should direct the Secretaries of Agriculture and State and the Administrator of the Agency for International Development to encourage the Government of Japan to use a portion of its increased foreign assistance funds to increase the availability of international food aid supplies through bilateral or multilateral channels to meet the needs of the world's hungry people; (2) Japanese aid resources could be channeled to finance long-term contracts to purchase and deliver commodities from the United States and developing country agricultural producers as donations to nongovernmental or international organizations for use in hunger alleviation projects; (3) during such long-term contractual agreement, such purchases of food and agricultural commodities purchased by Japan should be considered as increased importation by Japan of such products for the purposes of U.S. trade laws; (4) during the period of any such purchases by Japan from the United States, the value of U.S. purchases of the same agricultural commodities should be maintained at no less than FY 1989 levels; and (5) the commodities purchased under this program should be donated to organizations equipped to ensure that the food will be available only to projects that meet specified criteria (relating to the proper use of such food aid and the assurances of no negative impact on the agricultural producers in the areas to which the food is sent).
