Stefanik, Ernst Reintroduce Legislation to Ensure Reporting And Public Disclosure of American Dollars Sent to Communist China

Washington, D.C. - Today, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik and Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) reintroduced the Tracking Receipts to Adversarial Countries for Knowledge of Spending (TRACKS) Actwhich requires the reporting and public disclosure of money from a government grant or contract going to an entity located in a foreign country of concern including Communist China, Russia, North Korea, and the Islamic Republic of Iran.

"My legislation will ensure hardworking taxpayer dollars are not funding our adversaries including Communist China as they work against American interests. The days of poor stewardship over American dollars under the Biden Administration are long gone as House Republicans join President Trump in his efforts of rooting out government waste, fraud, and abuse," said Congresswoman Elise Stefanik.

"Americans should never send a cent to China," said Senator Joni Ernst. "But you cannot stop what you cannot see. I am exposing every single tax dollar sent overseas to scrutinize and halt all wasteful spending."

This legislation provides crucial information on the dollar amount, location, and purpose for this funding and would be reported to the federal government and made available online for the American public.
