## Summary

**Cuts U.S. assistance to Honduras if the Honduran government refuses to host U.S. military and civilian personnel at Soto Cano Air Base.** The bill would authorize the President to suspend all assistance to Honduras after U.S. personnel redeploy for that reason, including aid provided under the May 20, 1954, bilateral military assistance agreement and any later amendments. - Honduran government: Faces suspension of all U.S. assistance if it refuses or is unwilling to host U.S. personnel, with the cut beginning after U.S. forces redeploy. - U.S. President: Gains explicit authority to halt assistance to Honduras "notwithstanding any other provision of law," giving the executive broad discretion to respond to Honduran decisions about hosting personnel. - U.S.-Honduras military ties: Covers aid under the 1954 bilateral military assistance agreement and subsequent amendments, putting those programs at risk if hosting ends.
