002 03/11/98 WED 12:09 FAX 2024567311 WH Womens office The Administration strongly opposes the conference bill's restrictions on internatioal family planning programs, which go far beyond those contained in current law. The conference report imposes in statute limitations on international family planning assistance that were rejected by the Administration when it overturned the so-called Mexico City policy. While the bill allows the President to waive one aspect of those restrictions, it imposes a punitive funding cap if the waiver is exercised. The conference report also imposes a global gag rule on foreign non-governmental organizations (NGOs) by prohibiting funding for those NGOS that engage in the democratic process in their own countries and conduct legal advocacy activities with their own funds. These restrictions put in jeopardy funding for the most experienced and qualified family planning and maternal-child health care providers working at the grassroots level to meet the graowing demand for family planning and other critical health services in developing countries. The President maintains his position that this language is unacceptable.
