Included are correspondence on the topic from WFP and CDC, excerpts from FAO and UNHCR emergency monographs, and a USAID draft copy of a reference guide on emergency rations. Based on the scientific and technical knowledge of individual members and the background information, the Committee is requested to make recommendations as to: · a mean per capita daily energy requirement for emergency situations (citing and defining the scientific and technical information which supports this mean value)

However, questions remain on the appropriate energy level that should be advised. We are fully aware that population daily energy requirements are known to vary by demographic structure, temperature, health/nutrition status, and activity level.

Request for Professional Determination In the view of the best scientific information available on daily food energy requirements, and in light of the practical limitations of food aid programs, what is the best average daily energy intake that should be used to plan food aid rations in emergency feeding programs? Reviewers should bear in mind that any decision that is made will not only have implications for U.S.
