The Foreign Operations Appropriations Act for FY1995 prohibited United States contributions to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) from being made available for programs in China. If it was reported that UNFPA spent in excess of $7 million in China in 1995, United States payments to the UNFPA would be reduced by the amount over $7 million.

For FY1997, the Foreign Operations Appropriations Act required that: 1) no funds are allocated for UNFPA be made available for activities in China; 2) FY1997 for UNFPA are limited to $25 million; and 3) United States payments to UNFPA are reduced by the amount that that organization expends in China.
