No defense funds for activity by or with the Wuhan Institute of Virology
What the document says“None of the funds made available by this Act may be used to support any activity conducted by, or associated with, the Wuhan Institute of Virology.”
Section 8128 of division A bars the use of any funds in the division to support activity conducted by, or associated with, the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Section 8129 bars funds for work by EcoHealth Alliance, Inc. in China on research supported by the government of China, unless the Secretary of Defense waives it in the national security interest and justifies the waiver to Congress within 14 days.
What the document actually says“None of the funds made available by this Act may be used to support any activity conducted by, or associated with, the Wuhan Institute of Virology.”
No money in this part may support work done by that lab. Nor may it support work tied to it.
The lab named is in China. The next part blocks money for one group's work in China, unless the defense chief allows it and tells Congress why.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
