EBOLA Act

This bill would require the President, working with the Secretary of State, to take all necessary steps for the United States to rejoin the World Health Organization (WHO) within 30 days after the bill becomes law. It would also require the President to immediately work with the WHO to respond to the Ebola outbreak in Central and Eastern Africa. The bill would authorize Congress to provide funding as needed, including to pay dues and other costs to restore U.S. membership in the WHO. It would also authorize funding to support the WHO and other United Nations groups in responding to the Ebola epidemic, including through voluntary contributions.
