Bill > HR4941

This bill directs the Secretary of State to impose strict travel restrictions on certain officials from specific countries and organizations when attending United Nations meetings in New York City. The bill targets officials from Iran, those associated with Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs), and officials from UN organizations to which the United States is not a member. These officials would be limited to very narrow travel routes between specific airports (JFK, Newark, and Teterboro) and the UN Headquarters, with their visas restricted to only the immediate days of the UN General Assembly meeting. Officials from non-member UN organizations would be further constrained to remain within a 25-mile radius of the UN Headquarters and prohibited from visiting higher education institutions within that area. The bill includes some flexibility for route changes if security concerns exist, and explicitly states that these restrictions do not apply to U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents. The primary goal appears to be limiting the movement and potential influence of officials from countries or organizations deemed problematic by the United States.
