Report To The Chairman

Committee On Foreign Relations

United States Senate






Delaying U.S. Payments To International

Organizations May Not Be The Best

Means To Promote Budget Restraint



The United States changed its method of pay-
ing annual contributions to selected interna-
tional organizations from quarterly to a lump
sum payment during the fourth quarter of each
calendar year. The intent was to achieve a tem-
porary U.S. budget reduction, improve the ac-
curacy of U.S. budget requests, and impress
upon the organizations the need for restraining
budget growth.
Although the change effectively reduced the
U.S. budget from fiscal year 1981 to 1983, it
led to greater financial difficulties in the orga-
nizations, greater associated costs, and disap-
proval from other members. GAO offers al-
ternatives for congressional and executive
branch consideration.
