Bush: Send Surplus To Hungry Nations

By MIKE GLOVER Associated Press Writer

MUSCATINE, Iowa (AP) - Texas Gov. George W. Bush urged the Clinton administration Wednesday to move quickly on an $800 million program designed to send surplus farm commodities to hungry nations.

``This administration and the Department of Agriculture must move quickly and expeditiously to spend that money and move our food to people who need it all across the world,' Bush said.

That step would aid nations in need, and be welcomed by farmers who are almost done gathering this year's crops. A heavy harvest again this year has left the country awash in surplus grain and driven commodity prices to historic lows.

Opening his latest campaign visit to Iowa, Bush said the federal government can help, and he noted Congress' approval of the $800 million program to pay for efforts such as Food for Peace.(cont)
