Excerpt from The U. S. Role in the United Nations: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Human Rights and International Organizations of the Committee on Foreign Affairs House of Representatives Ninety-Eight Congress First Session The subcommittee met at 2:30 p.m., in room 2172, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. Gus Yatron (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding. Mr. Yatron. The subcommittee will come to order. For almost 40 years vigorous U.S. participation in the United Nations and its specialized agencies has been a major focus of our foreign policy under eight Presidents, including President Reagan. Within the last week three separate events have raised a serious question about the steadfastness of America´s commitment to the United Nations. First, a Deputy U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations in a heated moment suggested that the United States might be happy to have the United Nations leave the United States. He stated that if the United Nations wished to leave he would be on hand at the dock to bid a fond farewell. Some of my colleagues in Congress have expressed outrage, but others, accustomed to certain rhetorical excesses, were prepared to forgive and forget. But then President Reagan undid the best efforts of official spokesmen by stating his belief that most Americans approved the sentiments of Ambassador Lichtenstein. This left some wondering whether the President really endorsed the idea of inviting the United Nations to leave. Finally, at the end of last week, by an overwhelming vote, the Senate unexpectedly adopted an amendment sharply reducing funds authorized to pay the assessed U.S. contribution to the United Nations, UNESCO, the World Health Organization, the Food and Agricultural Organization, and the International Labor Organization. For a generation, American politics has heard the cry "Get the United States out of the United Nations and the United Nations out of the United States." What had been viewed as a radical slogan has overnight apparently become a distinct possibility. To examine the implications of these events for U.S. foreign policy and U.S. participation in the United Nations, the subcommittee has scheduled today´s hearing.
