May 11, 1995 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD— SENATE S6509 

Deitrich, Lauren Bacall, and Ingrid 

Bergman, joined in the effort that 

would make the CARE package a part 

of our language and history. 

As Europe and Asia recovered from 

World War II, CARE adopted a new 

name—the Cooperative for Assistance 

and Relief Everywhere—and a new mission: to help the poorest of the world’s 

poor. 

Today CARE helps 30 million people 

in more than 60 developing countries 

each year to improve their lives 

through comprehensive disaster relief 

programs as well as assistance for longterm, sustainable development projects 

in agriculture, the environment, 

health, nutrition, population, and 

small business. In the years since that 

first package, CARE packages have 

helped more than 1 billion people in 121 

countries around the world, sending 

more than $7 billion worth of assistance. The countries Americans helped 

50 years ago have become our political 

and economic partners and many are 

now partners as well in providing 

CARE packages to others in need. 

CARE has 11 international offices in 

Europe and Japan, and has twice been 

nominated for a Nobel Prize. 

The plain brown boxes stamped 

CARE have been a symbol of the best 

American spirit of generosity and hope 

to a hurting world for half a century. I 

am proud that CARE now is 

headquartered in Atlanta, GA, and 

proud of the wonderful work it has 

done throughout the world. This is an 

appropriate time for a new generation 

to learn about the real CARE package—not just goodies from home, but a 

package reflecting that same love and 

caring that reaches out in friendship to 

those in need. 

Mr. President, as CARE begins its 

50th anniversary celebration, I would 

urge that new generations—and their 

mothers, fathers, grandmothers, and 

grandfathers who have been sending 

those plain brown boxes stamped CARE 

all these years—to join in the effort to 

change lives and send a real CARE 

package.
