The Mexico City Policy

Memorandum for the Secretary of State[,] the Secretary of Health and
Human Services[, and] the Administrator of the United States Agency for
International Development
I hereby revoke the Presidential Memorandum of January 23, 2009, for
the Secretary of State and the Administrator of the United States Agency
for International Development (Mexico City Policy and Assistance for Voluntary
Population Planning), and reinstate the Presidential Memorandum
of January 22, 2001, for the Administrator of the United States Agency
for International Development (Restoration of the Mexico City Policy).
I direct the Secretary of State, in coordination with the Secretary of Health
and Human Services, to the extent allowable by law, to implement a plan
to extend the requirements of the reinstated Memorandum to global health
assistance furnished by all departments or agencies.
I further direct the Secretary of State to take all necessary actions, to the
extent permitted by law, to ensure that U.S. taxpayer dollars do not fund
organizations or programs that support or participate in the management
of a program of coercive abortion or involuntary sterilization.
This memorandum is not intended to, and does not, create any right or
benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any
party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its
officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.
The Secretary of State is authorized and directed to publish this memorandum
in the Federal Register.
