SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Africa Famine Relief Act of 2003''.

TITLE I--EMERGENCY FOOD AID TO SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA

SEC. 101. FINDINGS.

Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The National Security Strategy of the United States,
dated September 17, 2002, concludes that ''[i]n Africa, promise
and opportunity sit side-by-side with disease, war, and
desperate poverty. This threatens both a core value of the
United States preserving human dignity and our strategic
priority combating global terror. American interests and
American principles, therefore, lead in the same direction: we
will work with others for an African continent that lives in
liberty, peace, and growing prosperity.''.
(2) On March 19, 2002, the Director of the Central
Intelligence Agency testified that ''[t]he chronic problems of
sub-Saharan Africa make it, too, fertile ground for direct and
indirect threats to United States interests. Governments
without accountability and natural disasters have left Africa
with the highest concentration of human misery in the world''.
(3) The United Nations World Food Programme reports that
there is an unprecedented hunger crisis on the African
continent where approximately 38,000,000 people face
starvation.
(4) The scale of the humanitarian crisis in sub-Saharan
Africa has grown dramatically and there has been an average
increase of 30 percent in commodity prices since the President
submitted a budget request for food aid and other humanitarian
assistance for fiscal year 2003.
(5) A trip report prepared by a congressional delegation
that traveled to Ethiopia and Eritrea from December 29, 2002 to
January 4, 2003 stated that ''the U.S. Government will need to
do more to avert a disaster of biblical proportions . . .
Donors, including the United States, must make prompt and
significant food-aid pledges to help Ethiopia overcome its
current crisis.''.
(6) At a United Nations Security Council meeting on March
12, 2002, concerning the food crisis in Africa, the United
States representative stated that adequate levels of assistance
must be provided immediately to avert disaster in sub-Saharan
Africa.
(7) On December 6, 2002, the United States Agency for
International Development reported that ''[a] number of
Southern African countries are currently experiencing food
security crises, due to a combination of adverse climate
conditions for two consecutive growing seasons, mismanagement
of grain reserves, and restrictive government policies that
severely inhibit private sector commerce''.
(8) The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) reports
that the HIV/AIDS pandemic in Africa, affecting 29,400,000
people, has exacerbated the humanitarian crisis by reducing
agricultural productivity and food security, undercutting
people's ability to recover and contributing to long-term
poverty.
(9) The HIV/AIDS crisis in sub-Saharan Africa, which
strikes at working adults involved in agricultural production,
is a major component of this crisis.

SEC. 102. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) effectively addressing the famine in sub-Saharan Africa
is in the national security interests of the United States;
(2) the President should immediately submit a request for
emergency supplemental appropriations to Congress for food aid
and other humanitarian assistance to reach vulnerable
populations living in poverty in sub-Saharan Africa;
(3) the President should immediately consult with the
chairmen and ranking members of the Committee on Agriculture,
Nutrition, and Forestry, the Committee on Appropriations, and
the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate and the
Committee on Agriculture, the Committee on Appropriations, and
the Committee on International Relations of the House of
Representatives to formulate a legislative strategy to address
the immediate and long-term needs caused by the humanitarian
crisis in sub-Saharan Africa; and
(4) the United States should engage in direct talks with
members of the European Union and other appropriate nations to
increase the amount of contributions from other nations to sub-
Saharan Africa.
