BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL

Report To The Chairman

Committee On Foreign Relations

United States Senate

OF THE UNITED STATES





U.S. Participation In

U.N. Program Budgets




The program budgets of the United Nations and its
specialized agencies have grown significantly over
time, resulting in proportionate increases in the
amount of U.S. assessed contributions to the organiz-
ations. The extent to which this budget growth can be
restrained depends, in part, upon the ability of those
nations favoring budget restraint, including the United
States, to influence the organizations to adopt lower
levels of program growth. This is difficult because a
majority of member nations favor program expansion.

Since 1981, the United States has emphasized a
broad policy calling for zero net program growth
which has apparently contributed to lower levels of
program growth in the 1984-85 budgets. GAO believes
that one way to complement these efforts which could
be beneficial in influencing the organizations' program
budgets rests with identifying specific areas and
means of attaining program and cost reductions and
communicating these to the organizations' secretariats
early in the budget formulation process.
