505 0  Introduction -- Does U.S. foreign aid focus on the poorest
       countries? -- Does U.S. aid focus on countries whose 
       governments show a commitment to helping the poor? -- 
       Doesn't U.S. aid have a moderating influence on repressive
       foreign governments? -- Wouldn't channeling more aid 
       through multilateral institutions curb the use of aid for 
       narrow foreign policy and corporate interests? -- Doesn't 
       our foreign aid now go primarily to agricultures and rural
       development? -- If only one-quarter of World Bank loans go,
       even nominally, for agriculture and rural development, 
       what does the World Bank do with the rest? -- Don't 
       agriculture and rural development projects now focus on 
       small farmers? -- Certainly there must be AID and World 
       Bank projects that have helped small farmers increase 
       their productivity. Don't such projects help the poor and 
       the hungry? -- Are AID and the World Bank now promoting 
       land reform and redistribution? -- Can't agencies like AID
       and the World Bank use aid money more effectively than 
       small nongovernmental aid agencies? -- Even if most aid is
       not for agricultural and rural development or for the poor,
       doesn't it stimulate the economies of third world 
       countries? -- Don't food aid programs get food to hungry 
       people? -- Hasn't food aid been reformed? -- What happens 
       to our food aid when it reaches a country where the 
       majority of people are hungry? -- Aren't food-for-work 
       programs more effective in helping the hungry and in 
       building food self-reliance? -- Isn't food aid necessary 
       in emergencies? -- Are you suggesting that most food aid 
       should be terminated? -- Aren't you arguing a chancy and 
       cruel proposition that even though an aid cut-off might 
       hurt some people today it is necessary so that structural 
       changes can, in the longer run, eradicate hunger? Why not 
       instead seek out the few successful projects and try to 
       multiply them? -- Is nongovernmental private aid the 
       solution? -- If our government's foreign aid basically 
       hurts the hungry, is there anything we can do to help 
       them? -- A primer: some essential facts about the aid 
       establishment -- Charts. Chart I: Ten top recipients get 
       51 percent of U.S. bilateral economic assistance ; Chart 
       II: Top ten recipients get 90 percent of U.S. military 
       assistance ; Chart III: Top ten recipients get 56 percent 
       of World Bank assistance ; Chart IV: Top ten recipients 
       get three-quarters of allocated U.S. food aid -- Notes --
