It is the sense of Congress that— the guidance issued by the Office of Management and Budget on March 19, 2020, related to the provision of administrative relief for recipients of Federal financial assistance directly impacted by COVID–19 due to loss of operations is consistent with the overall effort to minimize the loss and economic disruption caused by COVID–19; and the Department of State and the United States Agency for International Development should urgently implement the Office of Management and Budget guidance to ensure the continued flow of funds to partners and other nongovernmental entities receiving foreign assistance funding, such that— programs underway can be appropriately modified and, if needed, extended; recipients are not penalized for delays; staff can be retained; and programs can expeditiously continue following the easing of restrictions related to the COVID–19 pandemic.
