What the document says

“$1,650,000,000 are rescinded: Provided, That none of the funds rescinded under this paragraph shall be from the unobligated balances for assistance to Jordan, Egypt, or the Countering PRC Influence Fund.”

To rescind certain budget authority proposed to be rescinded in special messages transmitted to the Congress by the President on June 3, 2025, in accordance with section 1012(a) of the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974, Sec. 2

Paragraph (9). It rescinds $1,650,000,000 of the unobligated balances under the account headed Bilateral Economic Assistance, Funds Appropriated to the President, Economic Support Fund, as made available by division A of Public Law 119-4, the Full-Year Continuing Appropriations Act, 2025. The proviso quoted here bars the rescission from being taken from balances for assistance to Jordan, assistance to Egypt, or the Countering PRC Influence Fund. The quotation starts at the amount because the printer broke the words Full-Year across a line above it.

“$1,650,000,000 are rescinded: Provided, That none of the funds rescinded under this paragraph shall be from the unobligated balances for assistance to Jordan, Egypt, or the Countering PRC Influence Fund.”

That sentence, in plain words

This takes back $1,650,000,000. But three things are shielded. Money for Jordan, money for Egypt, and one China fund stay.

What this is about

The money came from a fund that helps other countries pay their way. The shield means the cut has to come from the rest of the fund.

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.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
