To terminate the designation of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan as a major non-NATO ally, and for other purposes.

# Summary of HR 94: Pakistan Major Non-NATO Ally Designation **What the Bill Does** HR 94 would remove Pakistan's status as a "major non-NATO ally" of the United States. This designation currently gives Pakistan access to benefits like surplus U.S. military equipment and the ability to participate in joint defense research projects with America. The bill would prevent the President from restoring this status unless Pakistan meets specific conditions, primarily taking military action against the Haqqani Network (a Taliban-affiliated militant group) and prosecuting its leaders. **Who It Affects and Why** This bill primarily affects Pakistan's relationship with the U.S.

military and defense sector, as well as American foreign policy in South Asia. Supporters of the bill argue Pakistan hasn't done enough to combat the Haqqani Network, which operates in Afghanistan and has been linked to attacks on U.S. forces. The bill represents Congressional concern about whether military aid and cooperation with Pakistan is justified given these security issues. **Current Status** HR 94 was introduced by Representative Andy Biggs (R-Arizona) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives.
