According to a news report from efluxmedia.com, “President George W. Bush asked the Congress on Thursday to approve $770 million to alleviate the food crisis due to increasing food prices around the world.”
“The president’s suggestion comes a few days after Democrats in Congress have requested increases, and it was welcomed, although Democrats complained about the fact that the aid would not be available until the next fiscal year begins in October,” said the story. “During a surprise mid-afternoon appearance at the White House, Bush asked lawmakers to approve the additional funds due to help solving the world food crisis.”
