On the recordSeptember 25, 1997
the reforms in this package include substantial reductions in our regular budget and peacekeeping assessments from the U.N., caps our overall spending on U.N. agencies and programs, and certifications from the administration assuring that the U.N. implements a code of conduct, a personal evaluation system, access to U.N. financial data by the GAO, and greater consultations with the Congress. I would like to stress to my colleagues that it is our firm intention that none of the fU.N.ds in this bill appropriated for U.N. arrearages will be spent without giving Members an opportunity to consider an authorization measure now in conference between our two international relations committees that contain all the reforms I have described. Accordingly, I urge my colleagues to defeat the amendment.
