I would argue that “public welfare” only included the United States of America.

Our “public lands” are owned by the citizens, NOT THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY.

I’d also argue that “the public” receives no benefit or “welfare” from the foundation’s foreign endeavors and in some cases might work against the American public’s scientific, education and charitable purposes.
