FISCAL YEAR 2024 STATE, FOREIGN OPERATIONS, AND RELATED

PROGRAMS APPROPRIATIONS BILL

The State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs bill provides $51.5 billion for programs under the jurisdiction of the Subcommittee, which is $17.4 billion (25%) below the President’s Budget Request, $8.2 billion (14%) below FY23 enacted level, $2.7 billion below the FY19 enacted level, and $288 million below the FY15 enacted level. The bill claws back $11.14 billion of the Democrats’ wasteful spending over the last two years, resulting in net new spending of only $40.4 billion. The bill prioritizes agencies and programs that strengthen our national security, counter the People’s Republic of China promote American values at home and abroad, while cutting spending for low-priority activities and programs…

Some of what is claimed for this bill:

  • Prohibiting funds to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA);

  • Banning “disinformation” and “misinformation” programs that violate the free speech rights of American citizens

  • Reins in wasteful bureaucracy and enhances oversight and accountability by:

    • Strengthening Congressional oversight of funds provided in the bill and restricting the Administration’s ability to ignore congressional directives to fund an extreme, partisan agenda;

    • Funding the Agencies’ Inspectors General at or above the FY23 enacted levels;

    • Increasing accountability at the United Nations (UN) and other multilateral organizations, including by requiring written agreements for Inspectors General oversight access;

    • Curtailing reprogramming and contingency authorities; and

    • Eliminating counterproductive climate programs that harm energy security and economic development in underdeveloped countries, which leaves them even more dependent
