Support legislation to restore U.S. funding for the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA).
Occurrences
Evidence
Houlahan planned to introduce a bill to restore U.S. funding for UNFPA.
The memorandum lists the UN Population Fund for withdrawal and funding cessation.
Assessments
Houlahan appears to have seriously pursued the goal by preparing legislation to restore UNFPA funding and lining up co-sponsors in her first term, but there is no evidence the funding restoration was actually achieved. Later federal policy moved in the opposite direction, so the promised outcome was not delivered.
