Summary

Global School Meals and Women and Children Nutrition Resolution of 2000 - Commends Ambassador George McGovern and former Senator Robert Dole for their endorsement and leadership in promoting a worldwide school meals program and for their remarks at the May 2000 National Nutrition Summit at which they called on the U.S. Government to lead the world in providing such meals for the more than 300 million hungry children in developing countries.
