Sen. Cornyn successfully secured the following commitments from the Trump administration: Spending plans for FY25 and FY26 PEPFAR funds, including a timeframe for future awards to faith-based organizations; A guarantee that the more than $270M planned transfer from the U.S. State Department to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will be completed; And a confirmation that all unobligated PEPFAR funds expiring in September will be obligated as expeditiously as possible and include appropriate notification to Congress.
