7 USC 1721, 1727.

SEC. 201. The Congress finds that food assistance provided by the United States to developing countries under title I of the Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance Act of 1954 often is distributed within those countries in ways which do not significantly alleviate hunger and malnutrition in those countries. In order to determine how United States food assistance can be more effectively used to meet the food needs of the poor in developing countries, the President shall submit to the Congress not later than February 1, 1979, a report (1) explaining why food assistance provided to developing countries under title I of the Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance Act of 1954 is not more successful in meeting the food needs of those suffering from hunger and malnutrition, and (2) recommending steps which could be taken (including increasing the proportion of food assistance which is furnished under titles II and J II of that Act) to increase the effectiveness of food assistance under that Act in meeting those needs.
