To OFRRO, this is the least the U.S. can decently do — and the most it can realistically attempt.
Said one OFRRO spokesman last week : "We want to bring these people back with a minimum of assistance from us in the form of direct relief. We are not deliberately holding down our help. But we know what has to be done and how much we will have to go around.
"We think it's safe to say that the ultimate cost of our program will be a lot less than some people think. Above all, if everything goes as we plan it, we are sure that the diet of the average American will not suffer."
