To abolish the United States Agency for International Development, and for other purposes.

# Summary of HR 1123 **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would eliminate the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), a federal agency that has provided foreign aid and development assistance to other countries since 1961. If passed, the agency would be shut down, which would end various programs focused on international health, disaster relief, economic development, and humanitarian assistance abroad. **Who It Affects** The bill would directly impact USAID employees and the countries that receive U.S. foreign aid assistance. Indirectly, it could affect American interests overseas, as USAID programs often support U.S.

diplomatic and strategic goals. Communities that benefit from foreign aid programs—such as those receiving medical assistance, food aid, or infrastructure support—would also be affected. **Current Status** The bill was introduced by Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill provides no additional details about how existing programs would be transitioned or what alternative arrangements might replace USAID's functions.
