Tomorrow there will be a full Committee Markup of the Bill that in its draft form DEFUNDS the WHO: the 2024 State, Foreign Operations and Related Programs Bill.
We need you to contact your members and urge that the defund remains in!!!
The draft version also defunded GOF research, EcoHealth Alliance and the Wuhan Institute of Virology. These stipulations are also very important.
The Appropriations Committee meets in 2359 Rayburn House Office Building at 10:30 am tomorrow, July 12. Here is their website.
