SEC. 6. SENSE OF CONGRESS. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that— 
(1) the organization ‘‘Feeding America’’ for-
merly known as America’s Second Harvest, issued 
the results of a national study on hunger and pov-
erty in America and found that for 1 in 8 Americans 
hunger is a reality, that the numbers of hungry 
Americans is on the rise, and 37.3 million people 
lived in poverty, including over 7.6 million families, 
3.6 million seniors, and over 13.3 million children 
under the age of 18; 
(2) the Department of Agriculture, Economic 
Research Service, found that an estimated 35.5 mil-
lion Americans are food insecure, meaning their ac-
cess to enough food is limited by a lack of money 
and other resources; 
(3) the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities 
reports that ‘‘the current downturn is likely to cause 
significant increases both in the number of Ameri-
cans who are poor and the number living in ‘deep 
poverty,’ with incomes below half of the poverty line. 
Because this recession is likely to be deep and the 
government safety net for very poor families who 
lack jobs has weakened significantly in recent years, 
increases in deep poverty in this recession are likely 
to be severe’’;

(4) World Hunger Year (WHY), a non-profit 
organization which operates a national hunger hot-
line with funding from the Department of Agri-
culture, has experienced a significant increase in 
calls for food assistance or information about where 
to find food, shelter, child-care, or job-finding assist-
ance; and 
(5) the production of cellulosic and advanced 
biofuels in the United States will assist the Nation 
in becoming less vulnerable to foreign supplies of oil, 
will create a significant number of jobs, and could 
achieve significant reductions in the generation of 
greenhouse gas emissions as determined by several 
recent studies. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that the savings achieved under this Act should be 
used to combat hunger in the United States and to develop 
domestic supplies of cellulosic and advanced biofuels by 
being used to— 
(1) increase the assistance provided for Federal 
nutrition programs administered by the Secretary of 
Agriculture, including school nutrition programs; 
(2) provide assistance to non-profit organiza-
tions dedicated to responding to the needs of low-in-
come families in the United States; and

nies ready to construct cellulosic and advanced 
biofuel processing facilities in the United States.
