THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release
October 16, 1989
REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
AT END HUNGER AWARDS CEREMONY
The Roosevelt Room
10:15 A.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: Welcome to everybody, and I do want to
salute the members of Congress who are here from the House Select
Committee -- the Select Committee on Hunger. Bill Emerson, one of
today's award winners; Tony Hall and Benjamin Gilman; and then, of
course, our friend, Senator Lugar of Indiana. Clayton, welcome
Secretary, and Mark, our Acting Administrator of AID. Let me welcome
all of you to the White House.
It's a special -- very special privilege to welcome Dr.
Kurien, the 1989 recipient of the World Food Prize. And he's the
father of India's "White Revolution" that has brought hygienic milk
to the homes of 170 million people. And tomorrow evening, Dr. Kurien
will be honored at the Smithsonian for his life-long dedication to
the poor and hungry of India. I want to congratulate this great
humanitarian whose work has changed the lives and the livelihoods of
so many millions of people.
And, of course, let me say again how honored I am to meet
with the End Hunger Award winners -- 14, if you will, of the thousand
points of light who are bringing hope to the hungry.
And you've all heard me say before that from now on, in
America, any definition of a successful life must include service to
others. And by that standard, the people I've just met with in the
Oval Office are the kind of success stories who inspire us all.
Whether you're a congressman like my friend Bill Emerson
-- or a produce merchant like Mickey Weiss, who decides one day it's
time to feed the hungry with the perfectly edible food that we waste
-- what you've done proves that each of us can make a difference _2
right in our own neighborhood, or on the other side of the world, as
well.
And I know this is a proud moment for all of you. But
I'd like to single out the five award winners who are not here.
Ambassador Alan Woods, Administrator of AID, who cared so
deeply, working until the very end of his life to help the world's
hungry. Of course, our friend Congressman Mickey Leland -- people
here in Washington and people back in Mickey's hometown, and mine, of
Houston, and the starving children of Ethiopia will never forget this
man and his great love and compassion. And, of course, Tom and
Roberta Worrick, and Gladys Gilbert -- the dedicated AID officials
who lost their lives on the way to Ethiopia's refugee camps with
Mickey Leland. Our hearts go out to the families of these fine men
and women.
The End Hunger Awards underscore a simple fact about
America. We are a compassionate people, a nation of neighbors and
neighborhoods -- and America will never sleep well so long as a
single man, woman or child goes to sleep hungry or homeless, haunted
or hurting.
Hunger cuts across all nations and peoples. It's black,
it's white, it's brown -- and certainly it's cruel. And every time
MORE
= 2 =
you feed a family == even a single man, woman or child -- along with
nourishment, you give them dignity and hope.
So I salute the winners of the End Hunger Awards. And
with that salute goes the gratitude of a nation to each of you for
answering the call to provide this most basic of needs. Because of
you, we must be -- we are one step closer to a world without hunger.
And we all realize that winning the battle against hunger
means improving the production and distribution of food. In
recognition of that fact, I will now sign this proclamation declaring
today World Food Day.
And before I sign the proclamation, let me again
congratulate the winners and thank you for joining me here this
morning. Bless you all and keep up the great work.
(The proclamation is signed.)

Good morning. Clayton Yeutter, [members of Congress,] Mark
Edelman, Administrator of AID: welcome to the White House.
And it is a special privilege to welcome Dr. Verghese Kurien
of India -- the 1989 recipient of the World Food Prize -- and
father of India's "White Revolution" that has brought hygienic
milk to the homes of 170 million people. Tomorrow evening, Dr.
Kurien will be honored at the Smithsonian Institution for his
life-long dedication to the poor and hungry of India. But this
morning, I want to congratulate this great humanitarian, whose
work has changed the lives -- and the livelihoods -- of so many
millions of people.
And, of course, let me say again how honored I am to meet
fourteen
with the End Hunger Award winners -- one dozen of the 1000 points
of light who are bringing hope to the hungry.
You've all heard me say before that, from now on in America,
any definition of a successful life must include service to
2
others. Well, by that standard, the people I've just met with
are the kind of success stories who inspire us all.
\like my Bill Emerson
Whether you're a Congressman or Ambassador or a produce
merchant like Mickey Weiss who decides one day it's time to feed
the hungry with the perfectly edible food we waste -- what you've
done proves that each of us can make a difference -- right in our
own neighborhood, or on the other side of the world.
I know this is a proud moment for all of you. But I'd like

Alan Woods, Adminstrator of AID, who cared so deeply, working
until the very end of his life to help the world's hungry.

back in Mickey's home town of Houston, and the starving children
of Ethiopia will never forget this man and his great love and

Roberta, our hearts go out to you. ////
The End Hunger Awards underscore a simple fact about
America. We are a compassionate people, a nation of neighbors

a single man, woman or child goes to sleep hungry or homeless,

But hunger cuts across all nations and peoples. Hunger is
black. Hunger is white. Hunger is brown. /// And hunger is
cruel. /// Every time you feed a family -- even a single man,

I salute the winners of the End Hunger Awards. And with
that salute goes the gratitude of a nation to you for answering
the call to provide this most basic of needs. Because of you,
we're one step closer to a world without hunger.

work has changed the lives -- and the livelihoods -- of so many
millions of people.
And, of course, let me say again how honored I am to meet
with the End Hunger Award winners -- one dozen of the 1000 points
of light who are bringing hope to the hungry.
You've all heard me say before that, from now on in America,
any definition of a successful life must include service to
2
others. Well, by that standard, the people I've just met with
are the kind of success stories who inspire us all.
Whether you're a Congressman or Ambassador -- or a produce
merchant like Mickey Weiss who decides one day it's time to feed
the hungry with the perfectly edible food we waste -- what you've
done proves that each of us can make a difference -- right in our
own neighborhood, or on the other side of the world.
I know this is a proud moment for all of you. But I'd like
to single out three award winners who are not here. Ambassador
Alan Woods, Adminstrator of AID, who cared so deeply, working
until the very end of his life to help the world's hungry.
Congressman Mickey Leland: People here in Washington, people
back in Mickey's home town of Houston, and the starving children
of Ethiopia will never forget this man and his great love and
compassion. And Tom Worrick -- AID officer in Ethiopia who also
lost his life on the way to Ethiopia's refugee camps with
Congressman Leland. Tom's wife Roberta shares the award.
Roberta, our hearts go out to you. ////
The End Hunger Awards underscore a simple fact about
America. We are a compassionate people, a nation of neighbors
and neighborhoods -- and America will never sleep 11 so long as
a single man, woman or child goes to sleep hungry or homeless,
Chopelese haunted or hurting.

But hunger cuts across all nations and peoples. Hunger is
black. Hunger is white. Hunger is brown. /// And hunger is
cruel. /// Every time you feed a family -- even a single man,
woman or child -- along with nourishment, you give them dignity
and hope.
I salute the winners of the End Hunger Awards. And with
that salute goes the gratitude of a nation to you for answering
the call to provide this most basic of needs. Because of you,
we're one step closer to a world without hunger.
Thank you all for joining me this morning. Now, I will sign
a proclamation declaring today World Food Day. God bless you --
and God bless the United States of America.

Good morning. Clayton Yeutter, [members of Congress,] Mark
Edelman, Administrator of AID: welcome to the White House.
And it is a special privilege to welcome Dr. Verghese Kurien
of India -- the 1989 recipient of the World Food Prize -- and
father of India's "White Revolution" that has brought hygienic
milk to the homes of 170 million people. Tomorrow evening, Dr.
Kurien will be honored at the Smithsonian Institution for his
life-long dedication to the poor and hungry of India. But this
morning, I want to congratulate this great humanitarian, whose
work has changed the lives -- and the livelihoods -- of so many
millions of people.
And, of course, let me say again how honored I am to meet
with the End Hunger Award winners -- one dozen of the 1000 points
