Slattery suggests Kansas send food
United Press International
Rep. Jim Slattery suggested to Honduran President Jose Azcona Hoyo that more Kansas foodstuffs be sent to the Central American country to help curb widespread hunger and malnutrition, an aide said yesterday.
For the past 30 years, the United States has shipped food to Honduras, including soybean products, wheat and dried milk from Kansas, but
'They've all been struggling with questions of 'why.' Honduras is our friend. We provide them with aid. Kansas has such bounty. We have surpluses here. So why are there children hungry in this country that is so close?'
— Carol McDowell Slattery's aide
malnutrition remains a major problem, said Carol McDowell, Slattery's head of nutrition.
There are estimates that up to 70 percent of the people in Honduras are malnourished, she said. Hoyo said that figure was too high.
The 2nd district congressman is leading a delegation of 18 people, most of whom are Kansans, on a 10-day tour of Honduras and Nicaragua to learn about the political, social and economic conditions in those countries.
In stops at a refugee camp and a remote village in Honduras, the delegation saw signs of extensive malnutrition, especially among children.
day they arrived was hungry children," McDowell said. "It's been painful for them.
What this group has seen from the
"They've all been struggling with questions of 'why'. Honduras is our friend. We provide them with aid. Kansas has such bounty. We have children hungry. So why are there children hungry in this country that is so close?"
The problem with the current food program is that Hondurans are not educated about nutrition, she said. The problem with the food to remote areas is a problem.
"It's not a problem of someone stealing it (the food) — graft or corruption — it's just a problem of teaching them how to use it." McDowell said.
In his meeting with Azcana Monday before leaving for Nicaragua, Slattery mentioned the possibility of sending more Kansas food to Honduras but did not go into details, said Paul Louderman, news director at WIBW radio in Topeka and a member of the group.
Arizona thanked Slattery for the suggestion and said he would contact the U.S. Embassy to see what could be done. Louderman said.
Louderman said the Kansas delegation had been told that part of the malnutrition problem in Honduras was due to the lack of diversity in the diets, consisting mostly of rice, beans and meat.
Monday night Slattery flew to Managua, Nicaragua, and met with representatives of the state-owned media. He warned he might change his mind about opposing aid to the contras unless steps were taken to ease repression in Nicaragua, especially of the media and the Catholic church. Louderman said.
Slattery, a member of the House Budget Committee, has consistently opposed U.S. aid to the contras — the rebels fighting to overthrow the Sandinista regime of Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega.
Later this week, Slattery hopes to meet with jailed U.S. citizen Sam Hall, who was arrested last month by Sandinista troops after being discovered wandering around a Nicaraguan air base. Hall is the brother of Rep. Tony Hall of Ohio, a friend of Slattery's.
