| Abstract | Recommendations and issues concerning population growth rate and its linkage to hunger and malnutrition, family planning programs and U.S. foreign aid are presented in statements from representatives in Congress from the states of Texas, Michigan, Illinois and New York, and also representatives from World Population Society, the Futures Group, Worldwatch Institute and Population Crisis Committee. The ethical issue of family planning programs with elements of coercion (such as forced abortions) is raised. It is suggested that the critical element in United States foreign aid be voluntary family planning activities that do not violate certain basic principles of human rights. The relationship between population and key resources such as cropland, water, fertilizer, oil, technology and climate is also discussed. Land-use changes associated with population growth, such as deforestation, which in turn affects soil erosion, climate and related environmental change, and consequently food production are highlighted. Additional issues raised include: the need to address poverty and employment, and the U.S. role in not only financing but also increasing awareness and receptivity to family planning programs in developing countries.
