urging Congress to defund IMF
Arizona House Memorial 2004 (HM 2004) is a non-binding resolution urging Congress to cease all U.S. funding to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and withdraw from the organization. It directly addresses the U.S. Congress and President, requesting they stop the approximately $150 billion annual contribution to the IMF. The resolution cites concerns about IMF waste, lack of accountability, and alleged support for "corrupt countries" like Pakistan - specifically referencing a $1 billion IMF loan to Pakistan amid security incidents involving India. As a symbolic memorial, it does not create legal obligations but formally requests a policy shift in U.S. international financial engagement.

The bill underwent a complete reformatting from a standard legislative text to a House Memorial document, removing the original header and page numbering while adding a new title block. The substantive policy content, including the arguments against the IMF and the request to cease funding, remained unchanged.
