Sec. 702(a) of Public Law 100-204 stated that the Congress found the consensus based decisionmaking procedure established by General Assembly Resolution 41/213 to be a significant step toward complying with the intent of the former sec. 143 which read as follows:

"Sec. 143. UNITED NATIONS ORGANIZATIONS REFORM IN BUDGET PROCEDURES. "(a) FINDINGS.-The Congress finds that the United Nations and its specialized agencies which are financed through assessed contributions of member states have not paid sufficient attention in the development of their budgets to the views of the member governments who are major financial contributors to those budgets.

"(b) VOTING RIGHTS.-In order to foster greater financial responsibility in preparation of the budgets of the United Nations and its specialized agencies which are financed through assessed contributions, the Secretary of State shall seek the adoption by the United Nations and its specialized agencies of procedures which grant voting rights to each member state on matters of budgetary consequence. Such voting rights shall be proportionate to the contribution of each such member state to the budget of the United Nations and its specialized agencies.

"(c) LIMITATION ON ASSESSED CONTRIBUTIONS.-No payments may be made for an assessed contribution to the United Nations or its specialized agencies in excess of 20 percent of the total annual budget of the United Nations or its specialized agencies (respectively) for the United States fiscal year 1987 and following years unless the United Nations and its specialized agencies have adopted the voting rights referred to in subsection (b)."

tal Experts to Review the Efficiency of the Administrative and Financial Functioning of the United Nations (Group of 18); and

(iii) the 15 percent reduction in the staff of the Secretariat (recommendations 55 and 57 of the Group of 18) is being implemented and that such reduction is being equitably applied among the nationals on such staff; and

(C) 20 percent of the United States assessed contributions may be paid beginning on a date which is 30 days after receipt by the Congress of the report described in subparagraph (B) unless the Congress within such 30-day period enacts, in accordance with subsection (c), a joint resolution prohibiting the payment of the remaining 20 percent of such funds.

(2) In the case that the amount appropriated for United States assessed contributions to the United Nations for a calendar year is less than the full amount of such United States assessed contributions for that year, the final one-fifth of the amount appropriated may only be paid

(A) after the President has made the determinations and report specified in paragraph (1)(B); and

(B) beginning on a date which is 30 days after receipt by the Congress of the report referred to in subparagraph (A) unless the Congress within such 30- day period enacts, in accordance with subsection (c), a joint resolution prohibiting the payment of the remaining one-fifth of such funds. (3) For each calendar year beginning with calendar year 1987, no payment may be made of an assessed contribution by the United States to any of the specialized agencies of the United Nations if such payment would cause the United States share of the total assessed budget for such agency to exceed 20 percent in any calendar year unless the President determines and so reports to the Congress that such agency has made substantial progress toward the adoption and implementation of decision-making procedures on budgetary matters in a manner that substantially achieves the greater financial responsibility referred to in subsection (a).

(4) Subject to the availability of appropriations, when the presidential determinations referred to in paragraphs (1)(B), (2), and (3) have been made, payment of assessed contributions for prior years may be made to the United Nations or its specialized agencies (as the case may be) without regard to the contribution limitation contained in this section prior to its being amended by the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1988 and 1989.
