To transfer the functions, duties, responsibilities, assets, liabilities, orders, determinations, rules, regulations, permits, grants, loans, contracts, agreements, certificates, licenses, and privileges of the United States Agency for International Development relating to implementing and administering the Food for Peace Act to the Department of Agriculture.

# HR 1207 Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill would move the Food for Peace program from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to the Department of Agriculture (USDA). Food for Peace is a U.S. government initiative that provides food assistance to countries facing hunger and food shortages.

The transfer would include all the program's functions, budgets, staff, contracts, and legal authorities—essentially relocating the entire operation from one federal agency to another. **Who It Affects:** The bill primarily affects USAID and the USDA as government agencies, but has broader implications for countries receiving U.S. food aid and organizations involved in delivering that assistance. It could impact how food aid is distributed internationally and coordinated with agricultural policy. **Current Status:** HR 1207 was introduced by Representative Tracey Mann (R-KS) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been voted on by the full House. The bill has not advanced to a vote and there is no indication of when or if it will be considered.
