We urge you to conduct oversight and consider taking up legislation to address the United
States’ involvement in the World Health Organization (WHO).
The American people are concerned about the Biden Administration's apparent willingness to
hand over public health decision making to an unaccountable international organization. The
WHO failed its member nations and the American people during the COVID-19 outbreak and
has gone out of its way to provide cover for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and the CCP’s
efforts to cover up the origins of the virus.
Every day, we hear from our constituents who worry that the Biden Administration’s
involvement with the WHO will result in more lockdowns and mandates, and no accountability
for the CCP in the future.
President Donald Trump recognized the threat posed by the WHO and took action to end U.S.
contributions. This decision was reversed by President Biden, who has since directed more than
$700 million in federal funding to the WHO.
We have authored legislation in this area, H.R. 79, the WHO Withdrawal Act and H.R. 343, the
No Taxpayer Funding for the World Health Organization Act, which would protect American’s
rights by withdrawing from the WHO and halting federal funds to the organization. We would
welcome the opportunity to work with the Committee on other approaches to disentangle the
United States from the WHO.
Americans across the country are pleading for action on this issue. Please consider their voices
and address this important matter.
Sincerely,
CC:
The Honorable Brian Mast
Chairman
House Foreign Affairs Committee
Subcommittee on Oversight and Accountability
