No Funding for Foreign Agents Act

This bill would make any organization controlled by an agent of a "covered foreign principal" ineligible to receive U.S. government financial assistance, whether given directly (such as contracts, grants, loans, or cooperative agreements) or indirectly (such as through vouchers chosen by beneficiaries). Covered foreign principals include the governments, political parties, and many persons and organizations of 22 listed nations, including China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, and others, plus certain organizations named in a 1987 anti-terrorism law. Agents include people acting at the direction of these principals, accredited diplomats and officials of those nations, and certain registered lobbyists and foreign government agents. The bill states it does not end aid to organizations not controlled by such agents and does not end U.S. foreign assistance.
