Resolution relating to the World Food Shortages and Rapid Population Growth.

Summary

Expresses the sense of the Senate that: (1) the United States should continue to assist in meeting the growing economic and human crises in many developing countries both by taking steps to help meet the immediate threat of famine where it exists and by making available its fair share of the means and technology for these countries to increase their own food production; (2) the United States should take steps to help achieve international agreements on a system of food reserves sufficient to meet emergencies wherever they may arise and to provide insurance against unexpected shortfalls in food production; and (3) since an increase in the standard of living of people in the developing nations, through expanded economic and social opportunities, is a necessary component of any program to promote a decline in population growth rates, the United States along with other developed countries should continue and increase both bilateral and multilateral aid to promote social and economic development and to assist in implementing population programs in developing countries in accordance with their requests.
