USDA-FAS Reviews

Great food court, need to go through airport like security but worth it for the limited options in the area.

Absolutely beautiful old government building ! The classic articture is very interesting and appealing!

If your looking for a nice cafeteria, this is the place with a wide variety of foods. Everything I had was very good especially the curry potatoes.

As a taxpayer, I'm appalled by a recent report saying that the USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) has since 2004 given $133 million to 'Planet Aid', despite warnings that the charity with those yellow donation bins for clothes is linked to an alleged cult whose leaders are on Interpol s global most-wanted list.(!)

The FAS insists that it was not aware the money was being misused.

But records withheld by the agency until Reveal News sued for them show otherwise: A member of the USDA s own staff who had in 2013 visited the southern African nation of Malawi had raised serious concerns and urged closer scrutiny of projects run by Planet Aid and its subcontractor Development Aid from People to People, commonly known as DAPP.

When I pay my taxes, I expect that the government will make sure that that money will be put to good use ... not get skimmed off by some clever international fraudsters!
