house 01/15/2025 - 119th Congress
We are proposing the "Securing Taxpayer Assistance during Natural Disasters Act" to prioritize domestic recovery by temporarily pausing non-defense foreign assistance when a natural disaster is declared by the President. This ensures that U.S. resources are focused on addressing immediate domestic needs, allowing for a swift and efficient response to affected areas.
