1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Opposing Foreign Fundraising at United States Embassies Act of 2020 or the OFF U.S. Embassies Act of 2020 . 2. Findings Congress makes the following findings: (1) The promotion of democratic institutions and free and fair elections is a key foreign policy initiative of the United States, carried out by the Department of State through its embassies, diplomats, programs, and policies around the world. (2) Meeting with and building relationships with a range of political parties in foreign countries are appropriate and important functions consistent with the duties of any United States Ambassador or representative of the United States Government abroad. (3) It is the longstanding and bipartisan practice of the United States to encourage democratic norms, free and fair elections, rule of law, and free speech abroad, without regard for political party or affiliation. (4) The use of United States embassy or consulate grounds, or the grounds of any other United States diplomatic post, to raise funds for any foreign political party or candidate in a foreign democratic electoral process is inappropriate and distinct from longstanding Department of State efforts to engage with foreign persons, including democracy activists and representatives of political parties, to advance democratic institutions and universal values around the world. (5) On September 10, 2020, United States Ambassador to the Netherlands Pete Hoekstra held a private event for a Dutch political party and its donors at the United States Embassy in The Hague. (6) The invitations to the event asked guests to join the United States Embassy at the invitation of the Forum for Democracy and Pete Hoekstra, and included contact details for the Head of Fundraising of that foreign political party. (7) Prior donors to the political party were invited and attended the event at the United States Embassy. (8) The leader of the foreign political party used the event at the United States Embassy to speak about campaign strategy
