House leaders call for additional aid to fight hunger in Africa

Reps. Jim Leach (R-Iowa) and Donald Payne (D-N.J.) of H. Con. Res. 102, have called for "Hunger to Harvest: A Decade of Concern for Africa." The resolution calls upon the United States government, along with its international allies, to commit to a global plan to cut world hunger in half by 2015 by increasing funds for poverty- focused development assistance for sub-Saharan Africa.
