Contact Congress about H.R. 7271: Evan Anzoo Memorial Act

The Government Accountability Office would study deaths tied to stopping USAID services abroad. It would report 2025 deaths, five-year death estimates, named cases, and early findings to Congress and the public.

Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.

Evan Anzoo Memorial Act is a House bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.

Latest action on H.R. 7271: Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people in other countries who lost USAID-supported health services, especially people who depended on medical care, medicine, or health supplies. It also affects families of people whose deaths may be named in the report. GAO would do the study, and Congress would use the findings for oversight of U.S. foreign aid decisions.

Why this matters: This bill matters because it would put numbers and names behind the possible human cost of ending USAID services. Many USAID programs support health care in other countries. If those services stopped, some people may have lost treatment, medicine, or supplies they needed to survive. The report could shape future debates over U.S. foreign aid, but the bill itself would not restart or fund any programs.

Key provisions in H.R. 7271

  • GAO must write a final report within one year after the bill becomes law. The Comptroller General, who leads GAO, would be responsible for it.
  • The report must estimate deaths in 2025 tied to stopping USAID work. It must cover the stop-work order, the end of USAID services, and the shutdown of USAID.
  • The report must estimate future deaths too. It must project added deaths over the next five years from losing USAID-provided services.
  • GAO must review named deaths in South Sudan, Thailand, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Uganda. It must decide whether losing USAID health-related services caused those deaths.
  • GAO must include other known people who died for the same reason. That includes deaths tied to the stop-work order, the end of services, or the shutdown.
