H.R. 6247, a bill introduced in the House of Representatives on November 6, 2023, aims to modify the scope of the Office of the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR).
The proposed change involves amending Section 1229(m)(1)(B) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008. Specifically, the bill seeks to replace the phrase "the reconstruction of Afghanistan" with "assistance for the benefit of the Afghan people."
In effect, this modification would broaden SIGAR's oversight responsibilities to include all forms of assistance provided to the Afghan people, rather than solely focusing on reconstruction efforts.
