Withholding of population funds, 13 August 1987.

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) withheld from the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) $25 million appropriated for the Fund by the United States Congress. This was the third year that funds had been withheld. As in earlier years, the Reagan administration objected to UNFPA support for China. It viewed China's family planning program, which emphasized the importance of limiting family size to one child, as sanctioning coercive abortions.
