DEPARTMENT OF STATE MISSION TO THE UNITED NATIONS STATEMENTS OF HENRY CABOT LODGE, UNITED STATES REPRESENTATIVE TO THE U. N.; JAMES J. WADSWORTH, DEPUTY REPRESENTATIVE TO THE U. N.; THRUSTON B. MORTON, ACTING DEPUTY UNDER SECRETARY; EDWARD B. WILBER, BUDGET OFFICER REQUEST FOR RESTORATION OF HOUSE CUT Chairman BRIDGES. The committee will please come to order. This morning we will first consider the operations and fund requirements of our mission to the United Nations. For this item the House bill provides $800,000, which is the same as allowed this year, but is a reduction of $20,000 below the budget estimate. I understand the Department is asking for restoration of this cut. Our contribution to the U. N. total budget is $13,407,290, a decrease of $1,759,750 below this year's assessment. Percentagewise, the assessment for 1955 is 33.33 as compared to 35.12 for 1954 or a decrease of 1.79 percent. The summary and justification for these items will be filed in the record. (The summary and justification referred to follow:) United States mission to the United Nations, New York, N. Y. |
