United States Contributions to International Organizations for the Period

July 1, 1964-June 30, 1965

INTRODUCTION

The United States contributed a total of $326 million to 71 international organizations and programs during the fiscal year 1965.

The listing of fiscal year 1965 contributions which follows shows that most of the total was contributed to help finance activities carried out under the aegis of the United Nations, including U.S. contributions to the regular budgets of the U.N. and the specialized agencies, funds to help support U.N. peace-keeping forces in the Middle East and Cyprus, and voluntary contributions which the United States provided to special U.N. programs such as UNICEF, the U.N. Development Program, etc.

The largest single amount contributed from 1965 funds was $80 million to help finance the develop

ment of the Indus Basin in India and Pakistan, a program that is being supervised by the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development. The smallest U.S. contribution was $840 to the International Whaling Commission.

The $326 million contributed in fiscal year 1965 reflects an upward trend in the amount of assistance channeled through multilateral organizations. Ten years ago U.S. contributions totaled $100 million, and 20 years ago, at the close of World War II, contributions to international organizations amounted to about $10 million. Even though there has been an upward trend in the totals contributed annually, it should be noted that the $326 million contributed in 1965 for international organizations and programs represents about 0.34 percent of total Federal expenditures. On a per capita basis, the 1965 contribution to all international organizations and programs equals $1.67 for each American.

The percentage share the United States contributed to international organizations ranged from 2 percent for the International Bureau of Education to 93 percent for the InterAmerican Tropical Tuna Commission, and included: U.N. regular budget, 31.91 percent; U.N. Development Program, 40 percent; and the U.N. Relief and Works Agency, 70 percent. Overall the U.S. share averaged about 42 percent of the total contributed by all countries.
