Mr. Chairman and members of the Subcommittee:


     U. S. contributions to United Nations organizations for other than peace-


keeping activities increased from $141.6 million in fiscal year 1961 to an


estimated $263.7 million in fiscal year 1970, an increase of over 85 percent.


The funds were used, in the main, for economic cooperation and development and


the promotion of social progress. In contrast, funds made available in the


annual Foreign Assistance Appropriations Acts for U. S. bilateral economic


assistance ranged from $1.8 billion for fiscal year 1961, to $1.3 billion for


fiscal year 1970, a decrease of almost 30 percent. These trends are illustrated


in the following graphs.
