Episcopal News Service. October 29, 1992 [92225B]

"The urgent need of America's most vulnerable have not been adequately addressed in this presidential campaign," said David Beckman, president of Bread for the World, announcing the release of the institute's annual report Hunger 1993. "In debating jobs and the economy, the candidates have been speaking to the pocketbook fears of the middle class, not to the immediate needs of this nation's 30 million hungry people." In addition to the United States, the book covers hunger in Africa, where drought and civil war have caused massive starvation, the Middle East and former Communist countries. To receive a copy of Hunger 1993, send $12.95 to Bread for the World Institute, Box A, 802 Rhode Island Avenue,. NE, Washington, DC 20018.
