Conable. World Food Prize laureate David Beckmann is one of the foremost U.S. advocates for hungry and poor people. He has been president of Bread for the World since 1991, leading large-scale and successful campaigns to strengthen U.S. political commitment to overcome hunger and poverty in the country and around the world. Beckmann is also president of Bread for the World Institute, which provides policy analysis on hunger and strategies to end it. He founded and serves as president of the Alliance to End Hunger, which engages diverse U.S. institutionsâ"Muslim and Jewish groups, corporations, unions, and universitiesâ"in building the political will to end hunger. Beckmann is a Lutheran pastor as well as an economist. He earned degrees from Yale University, Christ Seminary, and the London School of Economics. Six universities have awarded him honorary doctorates. In 2010, he was named a World Food Prize laureate. Barber Benjamin Conable Jr. (November 2, 1922 - November 30, 2003) was a U.S. Congressman from New York and former President of the World Bank Group. In 1980, Conable appeared in Milton Friedman's PBS documentary Free to Choose. Conable retired from the House in 1984. In 1986, President Ronald Reagan appointed him president of the World Bank. His experience as a legislator proved crucial as he persuaded his former colleagues to almost double Congress's appropriations for the bank. He retired in 1991. Seller Inventory # 84686
