All we are saying is set up a commission to look at it somewhere down the line, maybe 50 years from now, 20 years from now, 5 years from now. Somewhere down the line it might be advisable for the United Nations to put itself in a new location. That is all we are asking.

The United Nations is a not-for-profit operation. It is totally different.
