1 For the original provision, see Pub. L. No. 99-88,99 Stat. 293, 323 (1985). Whereas the “Kemp-Kasten amendment” was targeted specifically at the UN Population Fund, in 1984 the Reagan administration also established a policy—known as the “Mexico City policy”—prohibiting the United States from financing any nongovernmental organization that provided or promoted abortions abroad, regardless of its source of funds for those specific activities.

Although President Clinton revoked this policy, it was reinstated by President George W. Bush on his first day in office. Memorandum on Restoration of the Mexico City Policy, 37 Weekly Comp. Pres.
