TITLE 7—AGRICULTURE
§ 1728a
1 So in original. Probably should be ‘‘expended.’’
§ 1728a. President’s Emergency Food Assistance
Fund
(a) Establishment; authority of President to fur-
nish assistance from Fund
There is hereby established the President’s
Emergency Food Assistance Fund (hereafter in
this subchapter referred to as the ‘‘Fund’’).
Whenever the President determines it to be in
the national interest of the United States, he is
authorized to furnish, in accordance with the
provisions of this subchapter, and on such terms
and conditions as he may determine, assistance
from the Fund for the purpose of alleviating the
human suffering of peoples outside the United
States caused by acute food shortages. Such as-
sistance may be provided through such govern-
ments or other entities, private or public, in-
cluding intergovernmental and multilateral or-
ganizations, as the President deems appropriate.
(b) Types of assistance authorized
Because the effects of severe food shortages
will vary with the country or region, assistance
to alleviate human suffering may include the
provision of food assistance or such activities as
the provision of seed, animal fodder, animal vac-
cines, and transportation (including inland
transportation) and distribution services.
(c) Authorization of appropriations
There are authorized to be appropriated to the
President $50,000,000 each for fiscal year 1985 and
fiscal year 1986 to carry out the purposes of this
subchapter, to remain available until expanded.1
(d) Authority of President
The President may make loans, advances, and
grants to, make and perform agreements and
contracts with, or enter into transactions with,
any individual, corporation, or other body of
persons, government or government agency
