Rep. Williams Statement on Pres. Trump’s First Monday in Office

January 23, 2017

WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Roger Williams (R – Austin) today released the following statement after President Donald J. Trump, on his first Monday as the executive, froze federal hiring, withdrew the U.S. from the Trans Pacific Partnership and reinstated the Mexico City Policy.

"Today we saw our new president follow through on his promise to hit the ground running," said Williams. "President Trump is making good on his word to shrink the size of government, reevaluate our nation's trade deals and protect human life. I very much look forward for what is to come as we, together, work to restore opportunity for all and make America great again."

The Mexico City Policy, crafted under President Ronald Reagan, requires nongovernmental organizations that receive taxpayer funding to commit to not promote abortions abroad.
